Cowboys Rumors: Ezekiel Elliott's Knee Injury to Be Managed Conservatively in Week 10

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly expected to take a "conservative" approach with running back Ezekiel Elliott and his knee injury entering Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

According to ESPN's Ed Werder, the Cowboys plan to evaluate Elliott during pregame warm-ups Sunday before making a final decision regarding whether he will play.

Werder added that the Cowboys will likely make a conservative decision because of "long-term considerations" regarding Elliott's health.

Elliott sat out the Cowboys' Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears, and Dallas was then on the bye in Week 9. If Elliott does not play Sunday, it will mark the first time in his NFL career that he has missed consecutive games because of injury.
