Howdy, Cowboys Nation! Today we’ve got some hot—and kinda controversial—news that could shake things up for our team this season. Before we dive in, make sure y’all smash that like button, hit subscribe, and ring that notification bell so you don’t miss any updates on our Cowboys. We’re talking about a big absence for the game against the Falcons this Sunday. Stick around, though—the full story’s coming up in just a bit. Let’s get into it! 🏈
First off, we all know this season hasn’t gone the way we hoped. The offense has struggled, we’ve got the worst rushing attack in the NFL, and we’re sitting at a frustrating 3-4. Now, things just got tougher: Ezekiel Elliott, our veteran running back, ain’t traveling with the team to Atlanta this weekend. Why? Disciplinary reasons.
According to some top NFL insiders like Clarence Hill Jr. and ESPN’s Todd Archer, this decision’s been brewing behind the scenes for a while. Sounds like some internal issues built up, and the team figured it’d be best for Zeke to sit this one out. Surprised? You’re not alone.
With Zeke out, Coach Mike McCarthy’s turning to Rico Dowdle and Dalvin Cook, who just got bumped up from the practice squad. But let’s be real—this whole running back committee thing hasn’t been cutting it. McCarthy himself admitted he ain’t a fan of it, but after Tony Pollard left in the offseason, it’s all we’ve got.
Here’s the quick breakdown: Zeke re-signed with Dallas this year on a one-year deal worth up to $3 million, but he hasn’t made much of an impact. In seven games, he’s managed just 149 yards and two touchdowns, averaging a rough 3.1 yards per carry. Safe to say, he’s been far from the Zeke we all remember.
So, here’s the big question for y’all: Did the Cowboys make the right call sitting Zeke out? Or does he still have something left in the tank to help this team?

Let’s stick together and back our team. Go Cowboys! 🏈
