Cowboys' OTAs about who's not practicing more than who is

FRISCO, Texas – The biggest part of the Dallas Cowboys’ first organized team activity open to the media was who was not on the field.

Start with Ezekiel Elliott, who was in a car accident on Sunday. Coach Jason Garrett said the NFL’s reigning rushing champion was complaining of general “body soreness, neck soreness,” when he reported to work Monday, so the Cowboys opted to hold him out of the workouts this week.

Garrett said the expectation is Elliott will take part in OTAs next week when they resume on Tuesday.

Tight end Jason Witten and linebacker Sean Lee were also held out of the workout as the veterans work through an every-other-day schedule.
