With one game left in their season, the Dallas Cowboys waived veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott on Tuesday afternoon. The team said it made the move to allow Elliott a chance to latch on with a playoff team should he clear waivers. The Cowboys (7-9) aren't part of the playoff picture and conclude their season against the visiting Washington Commanders on Sunday. "Out of respect and appreciation for Zeke and wanting to provide him with an opportunity to pursue any potential playoff participation possible, we are releasing him from the Cowboys roster today," Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said in a statement.
