Sources: Dallas' Elliott won't play in preseason

ARLINGTON, Texas -- For the first time in his three seasons, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will enter the regular season with no carries in the preseason.

With starting offensive linemen Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Zack Martin dealing with issues ranging from minor to severe, quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott will not play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to multiple sources.

The third preseason game is usually treated as a dress rehearsal for the regular season but the flux on the offensive line caused the Cowboys to call an audible.
