EZEKIEL ELLIOTT NEWS

Goes down as a non-participant Updating a previous report, the Cowboys officially listed Elliott (calf) as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Prior to the session, coach Mike McCarthy told Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News that Elliott would be limited, with the Cowboys watching him to "see how he responds" from the bruised calf that he played through in Sunday's win over the Bengals. Later, Elliott was spotted doing resistance work with the team's training staff, per Gehlken. Considering he eventually was listed as a non-participant, Elliott was evidently unable to progress to individual or team drills. Elliott has two more chances to get some reps in to prove he's ready for this weekend's game against the 49ers.

Limited practice session Wednesday Elliott (calf) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Elliott is dealing with a calf contusion, but the report notes that coach Mike McCarthy doesn't think the running back's issue worsened in this past Sunday's win over Bengals. Last week, Elliott was limited at practice and approached Week 14 action listed as questionable, but ultimately he was able to suit up, logging 32 of a possible snaps on offense, which yielded him 12 carries for 48 yards and two catches for 11 yards.

Limited to 14 touches Elliot carried the ball 12 times for 48 yards in Week 14 against the Bengals. He added two receptions for 11 yards.

Impact Elliot split carries evenly with Tony Pollard, who drew 11 rushes and also added two receptions. In addition to the limited volume, Elliot was largely held under wraps and logged just two rushes of five or more yards. Elliot was a limited participant in practice throughout the week due to a calf injury, which may have encouraged the Cowboys to limit his workload in a game they controlled. Monitoring Elliot's practice participation leading into the team's Week 15 matchup against the 49ers could offer some insight into his expected workload for that contest.

Suiting up in Cincinati Elliott (calf) is active Week 14 against the Bengals.

Impact A calf injury caused Elliott to only be a limited participant in practice each day this week, but the expectation all along was that he'll suit up for the matchup against the Bengals. That notion was officially confirmed upon the release of inactives, leaving Elliott set to take the field under favorable fantasy circumstances. The Bengals are giving up 5.0 YPC to opposing running backs this season, which is the third-highest mark in the NFL.

Remains on track for Sunday Elliott (calf) is expected to play Sunday at Cincinnati, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old received the questionable tag Friday due to the calf injury, but he never appeared in danger of sitting out Sunday's contest. Elliott has at least 20 touches in four of the past five games and should continue to lead Dallas' backfield against the Bengals this weekend, with Tony Pollard working in a secondary role.

Should be fine Sunday Elliott (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, but he's expected to play, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Even with Tony Pollard getting a bit more work in recent weeks, Elliott reached 20 touches in four of the past five games. He's scored just one touchdown and averaged 3.8 YPC since Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending knee injury, but Elliott has a good matchup this week, and his workload remains among the safest in the league.

Limited at walk-through Elliott (calf) was limited at Thursday's walk-through, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Speaking to Jon Machota of The Athletic on Thursday, Elliott relayed that he's dealing a calf contusion. "I'm sure it's gonna be sore during the game," Elliott added. "I don't think it will limit me much at all." He's averaging a shade more than 20 touches per game this season, but with back-to-back limited practices so far this week the training staff clearly is curtailing how much he can do before Sunday's game at Cincinnati. Friday's injury report may clear up Elliott's status for Week 14.

Listed with calf issue Elliott was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with a calf injury, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Elliott previously played through a hamstring injury this season, so another lower-body issue doesn't seem like a huge concern, especially considering he would have got in some work if the Cowboys held a formal practice Wednesday. He'll look to prove the health of his calf during the team's two remaining sessions this week before Dallas matches up with Cincinnati on Sunday.

Cowboys take NFC's worst record into final quarter of season

Garners 95 total yards in loss Elliott rushed 18 times for 77 yards and secured four of six targets for 18 yards in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.

Impact Elliott got off to a strong start in the first half but saw his opportunities in the ground game and running room both essentially grind to a halt as the contest wore on. The multi-time Pro Bowler was also a solid presence in the passing game despite not coming up with any big plays through the air, and his reception tally was his highest since Week 6, when he garnered eight grabs versus the Cardinals. Elliott does now have the two highest rushing totals of his second half of the campaign in the last three games, so fantasy managers heading into their playoffs will hope he's able to keep the momentum going in a highly favorable Week 14 road matchup against the Bengals.

Cowboys miss chance for NFC East lead with another home loss

The Dallas Cowboys missed out on a chance to take over the NFC East lead with a 41-16 division loss to Washington

NOVEMBER 27, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fumbles again in blowout loss Elliott carries the ball 10 times for 32 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Thursday's 41-16 loss to Washington, while also losing a fumble.

Impact It's the sixth fumble in 11 games for Elliott, and the Cowboys have lost possession of five of them, including his giveaway on the second play of the second half Thursday that helped kill any chance Dallas had of keeping the game close. The fifth-year RB is still (barely) on pace for another 1,000-yard campaign, but Elliott just isn't finding the same running room this season behind a Cowboys offensive line gutted by injuries. He faces another tough matchup in Week 13 on the road against the Ravens.
