could have given a clear sign Ezekiel Elliott will play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers by choosing not to elevate a running back Saturday from their practice squad.Running back Qadree Ollison and center/guard Dakoda Shepley were both elevated Saturday afternoon. In each of the team’s first eight games this season, Dallas carried exactly three running backs on its 48-man game-day roster. Ollison give the Cowboys a fourth option alongside Elliott, Tony Pollard and Malik Davis.
Elliott opened practice Wednesday and Thursday by working with director of rehabilitation Britt Brown. He wore a brace over his right knee during the early segments open to reporters before taking team-drill reps inthe closed portion. On Thursday, Elliott took every rep in the 11-on-11 and 9-on-7 periods, coach Mike McCarthy said Friday.His most recent public comment to that effect came Friday morning in a local radio appearance.
“There is no point in going out there and make it worse for Weeks 8, 9, 10. You know what I mean? We’re worried about that second half of the season and playoffs.”
