Ezekiel Elliott on Saturday's WC game vs. Seahawks -- 'I'm ready to go right now'

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is feeling rested and fresh entering Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks after sitting out of the regular-season finale.

"Normally after a real game I'm not feeling ready to play until about Friday, Saturday, but I'm ready to go right now," Elliott said after Tuesday's practice.

The Cowboys opted to sit Elliott in their win against the New York Giants after he had 304 carries for a league-best 1,434 rushing yards and a team-best 77 receptions for 567 yards in 15 games.
