Report: Cowboys Fear Joseph Randle Is A Locker Room Problem

Dallas Cowboys backup running back Joseph Randle has been in the headlines a lot lately for all the wrong reasons.

He was arrested for shoplifting underwear and cologne in mid-October, and now there are questions about whether he can co-exist with his teammates in the locker room, according to ESPN's Ed Werder.

Randle got into a fight with Dez Bryant and Josh Brent at practice this week, which resulted in "tense" conversations with head coach Jason Garrett, who now fears Randle might be a cancer in the locker room.

Bryant and Brent were reportedly mad at Randle for bringing up their legal issues when he was arrested, the tape of which was released to the public this week. Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter in the death of teammate Jerry Brown last year, while Bryant was arrested in 2012 and accused of hitting his mother.

Randle is the backup to DeMarco Murray, who's leading the NFL in rushing this season. Murray hasn't missed a game this year, but is known for having injury issues that have plagued him throughout career, which is why Dallas hasn't got rid of Randle.
