Ezekiel Elliott today: 9 carries, 16 rushing yards, AVG of 1.8
Cowboys running game was nonexistent today. Their passing has been solid but Zeke and Pollard have been kinda ineffective

But you got to fight through it.” twitter.com/jonmachota/st…

6 of Ezekiel Elliott's 12 worst rushing games in his career have occurred in the last 6 weeks
Was listening to the Ticket yesterday and Goose Gosselin was on with Norm and mentioned that.
This isn't even made to be a shot at Zeke (he's obviously hurt), but moreso a major reason for why this offense isn't playing the way everyone expected it to be. Coincidentally, that 6 game stretch started with the Denver game in which Dallas has really only had one good offensive game since - vs Atlanta.
It really shows the importance of getting Zeke right for the long stretch. He looked really good earlier this year before the Denver game and there's a ton of importance in getting him right for the playoffs. Obviously, we still have to get Dak right (priority #1 at the end of the day) and Moore's play-calling needs to be improved the last few weeks, but getting a fully healthy Zeke should help both of them like it did earlier in the year when the offense was rolling.

[Gehlken] Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott said his right knee injury is not a bone bruise. “It feels good. I’m getting my strength back. A lot of the stiffness” is gone. MRI last Friday “showed that it’s progressing and that it’s getting better.” Knee cannot get worse by playing through it twitter.com/GehlkenNFL/st…

What is the best case scenario for Ezekiel Elliott moving forward?
I keep hearing from a friend who's a big cowboys fan that because of salary cap reasons they're likely to move on from him. I've also seen articles talking about teams that might be a good fit for him such as the Dolphins, 49ers, Falcons, etc. But for Zeke himself and for his fantasy purposes/dynasty value, what do you all think the best thing to happen would be for him?
Cowboys plan to back off RB Ezekiel Elliott some after right knee has ailed him for more than month. Team hopes to get ahead of issue before final stretch run. Unclear if that means he’ll miss Thursday at Saints. Mike McCarthy: “We’re still working through this COVID situation.” twitter.com/GehlkenNFL/st…
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on how 10 days between games can help RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee): “I think it’s a huge benefit. I think it’s a huge benefit for our whole football team. …It’s like another bye week, and we treated it that way.” Players were off Friday, Saturday, Sunday twitter.com/gehlkennfl/st…
Jerry Jones on Ezekiel Elliott moving forward: “His trainers, the people that are the closest to his health, his medical situation, they think he’s really good to go... I really look forward to a powerful and dynamic Zeke as we move on into this last part of the season.”
Source. Full quote:
> “His trainers, the people that are the closest to his health, his medical situation, they think he's really good to go,” Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “And, so, I don’t see after a 10-day rest here, you know, a lot of times, if you can get through games, if you can push on, then that’s better for you than sitting it out. You actually, if you have an issue, it improves if you’re able to get through and not injure it more. He certainly didn’t injure anything more last night. So, I really look forward to a powerful and dynamic Zeke as we move on into this last part of the season.”
Interesting logic here... between this and McCarthy's comments post game it still doesn't sound like they plan to rest him or anything but I guess we'll see. Maybe a 10 day rest will somehow solve the knee injury that has been nagging Zeke for weeks now
