Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said no decision has been made on suspended running back Ezekiel Elliott’s status for Saturday’s game against the Oakland Raiders.
Elliott has yet to play in the preseason, although he is eligible to continue to practice and play with the team until his suspension starts Sept. 2, barring a reversal on appeal Aug. 29.
Garrett said the indecision has nothing to do with Elliott’s suspension.
“Again, we just haven’t had those discussions with him,” Garrett said. “Typically, the running backs in this league don’t play that much in the preseason. Years ago, Emmitt Smith rarely played in the preseason.
