After sitting out the first two preseason games, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is expected to play on Saturday against the Oakland Raiders.
Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said Thursday he wanted to get Elliott some reps during the preseason with the idea he could be available in Week 1 of the regular season, via ESPN's Todd Archer:
"I think the biggest thing is just having the mindset of preparing him for Week 1 of the season, and that's the approach that we've taken. He's got a number of more reps in training camp than he did last year.
