Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: 'I Think We're Going to Have Guys Kneeling' in Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott believes at least some of his teammates will kneel during the playing of the national anthem prior to their season-opening game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.

During an appearance on the PFTPM Podcast (h/t Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith), Elliott said the following Tuesday: "I think we're going to have guys kneeling, we're going to have guys standing, and the biggest thing is that we're all supporting each other. We're all supporting each other and that's what's going to bring us all together."

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was staunchly against kneeling during the anthem in the past, but his stance seems to be softening.
