Week 4 Running Back Updates: K. Smith, Portis to Start; Expanded Role for T. Choice

October 4, 2009 By Leave a Comment

A few quick running back updates concerning Kevin Smith, Clinton Portis, and the Tashard Choice-Marion Barber combo in Dallas:

Via ProFootballTalk on Twitter, Kevin Smith will suit up and start for the Lions today and Clinton Portis will do the same for the Redskins.

As for Tashard Choice, get this guy in your lineup.  Marion Barber is probable to play, but is not 100% and the Cowboys want to ease him back into action. Every report I’ve heard is that Choice will get the majority of the carries, and no team is running the ball better than Dallas right now.
