EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- This was supposed to be the week the Dallas Cowboys unwrapped running back Christine Michael.
He received some work with the first team in practice and playcaller Scott Linehan and running backs coach Gary Brown talked about giving him an opportunity to show what he could do.
Perhaps it was all a smokescreen.
Rookie receiver Lucky Whitehead ran the ball four times, the most by a receiver in franchise history, while Michael carried the ball five times for 18 yards.
