Cowboys expect Ezekiel Elliott to miss regular season games

Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout for a new contract is expected to last into the regular season, according to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Jerry Jones on Ezekiel Elliott: "I'm operating as though right now he's going to miss regular season games. My entire expectation for what we're putting together as a team right now would anticipate with him holding out ... that he's going to miss games. I just accept that."

Tough scene.

On one hand, the Cowboys are actually being smart by not rushing to pay Zeke.
