Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray reportedly wants to play in his side's clash against the Indianapolis Colts, days removed from hand surgery.

The 26-year-old underwent an operation to repair the fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand after he sustained the break in his side's win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Cowboys were reportedly ready to rest Murray for the game, but the back is adamant that he wants to play against the Colts to help his side book a place in the post-season, claims ProFootballTalk.com.

Murray has recorded 1,687 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns this season.
