A two-time rushing champion for the Cowboys in his first seven seasons, Elliott returned to his original team this year but didn’t make the trip for last week’s 27-21 loss at Atlanta because he was late for meetings. It was the first time Elliott was a healthy scratch for Dallas in any game other than a meaningless regular-season finale.
Dallas trailed the Eagles 7-3 when Elliott fumbled, but got another chance when Micah Parsons sacked Jalen Hurts and forced a fumble recovered by Marist Liufau. Elliott got the first carry from the Philadelphia 6-yard line and gained 3 yards. After an incompletion, starting running back Rico Dowdle lost 2 yards on a run, forcing the Cowboys to settle for a field goal.
