Ezekiel Elliott Misses Practice Again
2 years agoDallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to his right knee injury, which is being described as an MCL sprain. Elliott is rehabbing off to the side and is unlikely to play in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. With the team's bye coming next week, it makes all the sense in the world for Dallas to hold Zeke out so that he has two weeks to rest up. The 27-year-old is also dealing with a thigh bruise. The Cowboys have yet to officially rule Elliott out, but all signs are pointing towards him being inactive this Sunday. Fantasy managers that have Tony Pollard rostered should be ready to fire him up as a must-start this weekend in a lead-back role.
