Even injured, Emmitt Smith is the most imposing figure on the Cardinals. As the NFL's all-time leading rusher inches back toward the playing field, how he will be reintroduced into the offense becomes more of an issue.
Smith said Wednesday that he thinks there is plenty of work for himself and Marcel Shipp, who has rushed for 306 yards in the past two games, both victories. Smith pointed to the heavy workload Shipp has logged in those games, 64 of the Cardinals' 81 carries.
"Regardless of who's No. 1 and who's not, it's going to be a two-back situation," said Smith, who hasn't played since suffering a fractured scapula against his old team, the Dallas Cowboys, on Oct. 5.
