Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not play Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons because of disciplinary reasons, a source told ESPN on Saturday.
Elliott was originally slated to be active for the game. He did not accompany the team on the charter flight Saturday. Elliott’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux, could not be reached for comment.
This will be the first time in his career Elliott will be a healthy scratch from the lineup in a game when the Cowboys’ playoff positioning has not been settled. He was rested in the regular-season finales in 2016 and 2018 with their spot secured.
