Jerry Jones expects Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott to play Sunday

Sep 12, 2017

Jerry Jones expects Ezekiel Elliott to be on the field Sunday when the Cowboys play the Denver Broncos. Beyond that, the Cowboys owner and general manager wasn't making his thoughts known Tuesday morning.

"We've got a good narration going with the media that are really doing, in my mind, a pretty good job of explaining it to our fans," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM] of Elliott's legal situation. "I'm not going to try to trump that, but the bottom line is, I do expect him Sunday."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones wouldn't commit to Elliott's longterm status because it's still possible he's suspended. But as long as the process is still being sorted out, Elliott will be allowed to play. Jones said expect a similar workload to the 24 carries he received in Week 1 as long as Elliott takes the field.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
