The Dallas Cowboys veteran running back is excited to get back to football.
“I think it’s good to see a different style of defense, to see a different defense and a different system,” said the former two-time NFL rushing champ on Tuesday. “I know we have a lot of vets, and vets probably won’t play in the preseason, so it’s good to get some different looks in practice and those joint practices are a different speed — it’s good for us to get those reps.”
Elliott will be one of many first-teamers who will not see the field come Sunday at SoFi Stadium in the preseason opener, and getting reps against the Rams in joint practice will go a long way in helping him to sharpen himself ahead of his ninth regular season.
