Ezekiel Elliott (knee) practiced fully while CeeDee Lamb didn't practice due to his concussion.

Elliott's injury didn't look good on Sunday against the Chiefs, but he was eventually able to return to the game so his full participation is a great sign. He'll be good to go against the Raiders.

Many figured the quick turnaround would mean Lamb would not play on Thanksgiving, but news out of Dallas Tuesday said Lamb was doing well and the team said there was a path to suiting up after he was able to attend meetings. However, this DNP may not be a good sign for Lamb and Thursday's game. Gallop and Wilson would be the team's top WRs with Amari Cooper (COVID) already out and Lamb in question.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott left Sunday’s game for a brief time after aggravating his knee injury, but he was able to get back on the field and played 69 percent of the team’s offensive snaps.

Things didn't look good for Elliott after the injury but as the story said he was able to return to the game. The Cowboys play the Raiders in the middle game on Thanksgiving.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and WR Amari Cooper (hamstring) were limited at practice Wednesday.

Both continue to play despite limited practice reps. Expect the same Week 10.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is questionable for Week 6 at New England. Elliott is expected to play.

This is not the first or last time Elliott will have a 'Q' tag and play. Fire him up as an RB1 against the Patriots.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and WR Amari Cooper (hamstring) are questionable Week 5 against the New York Giants according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Both are expected to play.

Look for the two to have their normal workloads after strong Week 4 performances.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper (ribs) and RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) did not practice Wednesday according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.

Neither player is in danger of missing Week 5 as of now but both should log at least limited work ahead of Friday's final injury report.

The next item that should be discussed is the performance of Tony Pollard. We are in Year 3 of Pollard’s four-year rookie deal and it is obvious that he is a weapon that must be included in every game plan. Without turning this automatically into a Pollard vs. Ezekiel Elliott debate, it should be obvious to anyone who follows these games that Pollard has a component that Elliott can not offer — the ability to hit home runs regularly.

The story goes into great deal about Pollard and his ability. One point to talk about here is the difference between Pollard’s role in Week 1 vs. Week 2. The author feels Pollard has to be a mandatory feature in the offense and he points out Pollard had seven touches on opening weekend and that raced up to 16 in Week 2. The story said Pollard can do whatever the team needs, calling him an explosive running back. It's looking like Pollard has stand-alone value, at least in a little deeper of leagues, but his workload is worth monitoring in all leagues.

After only seeing 11 carries and 13 touches in Dallas' Week 1 loss at Tampa Bay, the Cowboys are hoping to give Ezekiel Elliott at least 20 touches and get him back to his normal workload in Week 2 against the Chargers.

Elliott played 70 of 83 snaps against the Buccaneers, so the Cowboys have him on the field, so that won't be an issue. It's about getting him back to a full workload. Week 16 of last season was the last time Elliott had over 20 touches, when he totaled 23 against the Eagles. Zeke is currently our No. 12 running back in half-PPR.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will play in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Elliott missed Week 15 against the 49ers but was trending towards returning for what amounts to an elimination game against the Eagles, though a Washington win eliminates both teams. After Tony Pollard’s big day against the 49ers, Dallas could split the workload pretty evenly between the two. The down year for Elliott was empathized by Alvin Kamara scoring more touchdowns against the Vikings (6) than Elliott has scored all season (5). Both backs are flex options for championship week.
