Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott came out of last Sunday’s physical but career-best performance in the 26-24 victory against the Detroit Lions with a sore ankle and knee bursitis.
Elliott, who had a career-high 240 yards of total offense (152 on the ground and 88 via the air), ended the game with a noticeable limp, even when he caught a 34-yard pass on the final game-winning drive.
But he said afterward that it was nothing serious.
And while coach Jason Garrett said they will manage Elliott in practice this week, he said it was nothing that will keep him off the field for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
