FRISCO, Texas -- Ezekiel Elliott's return to the Dallas Cowboys is over with one game left to play.

The team waived the third all-time rushing leader in team history Tuesday, marking the second time the Cowboys have released Elliott in three years. He was released after the 2022 season for salary-cap reasons and spent the 2023 season with the New England Patriots.

The Cowboys made the move now to give Elliott, 29, a chance to join a playoff contender if or when he clears waivers.
