The Dallas Cowboys are releasing veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott, per his request. This allows him to potentially join a playoff team if his waiver clears.
Elliott's second stint with the Cowboys ends after just 16 games, totaling a career-low 226 yards and three rushing touchdowns, marking a significant downturn in performance.
Despite starting strong, Elliott's role diminished after missing a team meeting, which led to a decrease in his snap count for the remainder of the season.
With 8,488 yards and 71 rushing touchdowns in eight seasons, Elliott ranks third in franchise history for the Cowboys, following legends Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith.
