OXNARD, Calif. – It’s telling and entirely unsurprising that, even for a team facing disciplinary issues across its roster, the Cowboys spent the majority of Sunday morning answering questions about Ezekiel Elliott.
The focal points of the Cowboys’ front office – team owner/general manager Jerry Jones, executive vice president Stephen Jones and head coach Jason Garrett – officially opened their 2017 training camp with an introductory press conference on Sunday. And for every issue that might be facing the Cowboys heading into this new season, none loomed larger than Elliott and concerns about his off-field behavior.
That’s hardly shocking, given that it’s been just a week since speculation began that the Pro Bowl running back had been involved in an altercation in a Dallas night club.
