OXNARD, Calif. -- There is a dance going on between the Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott.
When the running back did not show up for the team's chartered flight to Los Angeles on Thursday of last week, it was met with a shrug and a sign of no big deal by everybody with the team. After all, the reporting date was actually the following day and Elliott could show up by then.
When Elliott did not show up by the reporting day, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said it was all part of the process.
