• Ezekiel Elliott was inactive for the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons – the first time he’s ever been a healthy scratch in his NFL career – after missing his third team meeting of the season on Friday, according to NFL Network’s Jane Slater.

Ezekiel Elliott is a healthy scratch today. The first of his career. According to a number of sources, Elliott has been distracted this season. Aside from habitual tardiness, hes missed three team meetings with Fridays meeting the final straw. Both parties decided it was best

Cowboys cut RB Ezekiel Elliott to give him chance at playoffs​

Ezekiel Elliott's return to the Dallas Cowboys is over with one game left to play.

The team waived its No. 3 all-time rushing leader Tuesday, marking the second time the Cowboys have released Elliott in three years. He was released after the 2022 season for salary cap reasons and spent 2023 with the New England Patriots.

The Cowboys made the move now to give Elliott, 29, a chance to join a playoff contender if he clears waivers.

"Out of respect and appreciation for Zeke and wanting to provide him with an opportunity to pursue any potential playoff participation possible, we are releasing him from the Cowboys roster today," Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said in a statement. "As I have said many times previously, Zeke's impact as one of the greatest to ever play with the Star on their helmet will never change and is etched in our record books and history forever. We thank him, love him and wish him the absolute best."

"Even though nothing is imminent Zeke is excited about the possibilities and is grateful. He's got a lot of good football left in him, and will remain a Dallas Cowboy for life," he said in a statement released to multiple media outlets.

Just sayin': (If this is his last year in the NFL) he's had quite a career in the NFL (especially for a RB who historically has the shortest NFL career)...... 9 years, 9,130 yards rushing, 2,718 yards receiving, 88 TDs, and $75M.

Chiefs for pass protection?

Respect that move by Dallas

Could be a Bill easily in my view, which I would not love as a Dolphins fan.

Ezekiel Elliott Joins J.K. Dobbins in Los Angeles As Chargers Sign Former Ohio State Running Back to Practice Squad​

While Dobbins is the Chargers’ starting running back, having rushed for 905 yards and nine touchdowns on 195 carries this season, Elliott gives the Chargers another depth option for the playoffs. He joins the Chargers’ practice squad after requesting his release from the Cowboys last week.

Although Elliott isn’t yet on the Chargers’ 53-man roster, he could still potentially play in their Wild Card game against the Houston Texans on Saturday (4:30 p.m., CBS), as NFL rules allow teams to elevate up to two players from their practice squads each week.

Elliott rushed for 226 yards and three touchdowns on 74 carries in 15 games with the Cowboys this season.
