Dallas rookie Ezekiel Elliott had an impressive first outing Thursday night against Seattle, rushing for 48 yards on seven carries and knocking Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor backward during a 13-yard run. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was reportedly “troubled” by the video and it seems they will have a talk with him.

“It is, in a way, part of the learning process”, Jones said. The Cowboys are carefully managing the 36-year-old’s health after a broken collarbone limited him to four games last season.
Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said Romo felt better as time passed, and that the team didn’t believe there was any serious injury. He says that she’s just trying to set him up.
Dallas quarterback Tony Romo appeared to injure his back when he was sacked on the third play of the game.
He told The Dallas News, “In general while it may not be wrong, it’s just not good”. It’s no wonder Jones would prefer not to see Elliott, the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, anywhere near the stuff. “No matter if you played at whatever level there is a picture here of interest”.
Elliott did look worthy of the No. 4 overall pick Dallas spent to acquire him in April’s National Football League draft, compiling 48 yards on only seven carries against Seattle’s typically stout defense but his visit to the dispensary isn’t the first alleged indiscretion Elliott’s been linked to. So again, I’m aware of it.

The unidentified woman, who alleged she’s Elliott’s girlfriend, recently claimed that the Cowboys running back struck her while they were sitting in her vehicle during an argument. I heard the report. He apparently didn’t make any purchases, which is a good thing because marijuana, despite being legal in the state of Washington, is still on the list of substances banned by the NFL.
