FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott won't make the trip to Atlanta and will miss Sunday's game for reasons the team didn't disclose.
The announcement Saturday means Elliott will miss a game for the first time in eight seasons over two stints with the Cowboys for reasons other than injury, suspension or games where the stakes couldn't justify using their lead back.
ESPN cited anonymous sources in reporting the absence was for disciplinary reasons.
Elliott, a two-time rushing champion for Dallas as the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 draft, returned to his original team in the offseason after one year with New England. The Cowboys released Elliott in a cost-cutting move after the 2022 season.
