Dallas Cowboys Expected to Release Former Ohio State Running Back Ezekiel Elliott

Ezekiel Elliott’s time with the Dallas Cowboys appears to be coming to an end.

Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Wednesday morning that “the Cowboys are set to part ways with the two-time NFL rushing champ and the running back is preparing to start fresh with a new team.” Per Hill’s report, Elliott could be released as soon as Wednesday afternoon, though he will be designated as a post-June 1 cut by the Cowboys for salary cap purposes.

Several other NFL insiders, including NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, have also reported that Elliott’s release is likely coming soon.
