Why is Ezekiel Elliott wearing a hooded sweatshirt during practice?

FRISCO -- Ezekiel Elliott wore a hooded sweatshirt under his pads during Wednesday's practice. He and Dak Prescott were both wearing them on Thursday.

Why?

"All I really focused on, which was really important, was just kind of maintaining my wind and making sure I'm in playing shape going into this next game," Elliott said after Wednesday's practice. "I've been practicing extra hard. You saw I had a hoodie on today just trying to make sure I'm getting tired out there so I can be used to it because I didn't get those same reps those past couple of weeks.
