Thursday will be his fourth game as an NFL running back, his first against the team's Dallas rivals.

In the Week 2 matchup between both teams, Kelley did not see any action as a backup behind Matt Jones. Before Week 8, Kelley was promoted to the team's starting runningback.

Coming off a huge performance agains the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, with 137 yards and three touchdowns, Kelley will be aiming to add another chapter to the historic Redskins-Cowboys rivalry.
