Darren McFadden

The Cowboys will release McFadden after the two sides mutually agreed to part ways, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

McFadden is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

McFadden will be the Cowboys' No. 3 running back behind Alfred Morris and Rod Smith on Sunday versus the Chiefs, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

McFadden is expected to rejoin the game-day roster beginning in Week 9 now that Ezekiel Elliott's court battle to overturn or delay his six-game suspension has been rejected. Elliott's group does have until very late Tuesday to exhaust all possible avenues, as there was a 24-hour window placed on the latest order.
