Cowboys bizarrely hand out Ezekiel Elliott treatment to player nobody saw coming

You kind of had a feeling when the Dallas Cowboys signed Ezekiel Elliott after last year's draft that it wouldn't have a happy ending because he simply wasn't good anymore. Well, leave it to team decision makers to make it an absolutely unbearable for everyone.

The Cowboys famously didn't play Elliott at all last preseason. They only give that treatment to established players who are guaranteed to start and make the roster. Elliott should've had to fight for his place, and despite that Dallas laid out the red carpet.

It seems the Cowboys are making the same mistake with linebacker Kenneth Murray, who has yet to suit up in preseason and likely won't play in Friday's preseason finale.
