Has there been a falling out between the Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott? The running back was quickly removed from the squad.

Is there a rift between the Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott?

The Dallas Cowboys running back will not play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 9 of the NFL – for disciplinary reasons. This was reported by ESPN.

As the NFL Network reports, Elliott is said to have been “distracted” this season. He was regularly late and is said to have missed three team meetings, with Friday’s meeting being the last straw.

After that, the Cowboys and Elliott decided that he would not travel with the team.

This fits at least with the second part of the Cowboys and Elliott’s relationship, which is not going according to the two parties’ ideas. Elliott, who already played for Dallas from 2016 to 2022, signed a one-year contract in April.

He has seven games this season with 149 yards and two touchdowns, plus he caught seven passes for 40 yards. Disastrous numbers. His worst performance so far came in 2023 with the New England Patriots, when he had 642 yards and three touchdowns.

His Cowboys contract has $2.15 million guaranteed. He can earn a maximum of $3 million.

It is quite possible that Elliott will be traded before the November 5 deadline. A release is also a possibility.
