Ezekiel Elliott returns for Cowboys after disciplinary absence and has costly fumble against Eagles

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Ezekiel Elliott played for the Dallas Cowboys a week after he was left home for disciplinary reasons, and the running back had a costly fumble in the first half of a 34-6 loss to NFC East rival Philadelphia on Sunday. It’s disgusting, makes my stomach hurt.” A two-time rushing champion for the Cowboys in his first seven seasons, Elliott returned to his original team this year but didn’t make the trip for last week’s 27-21 loss at Atlanta because he was late for meetings. “I’m not really trying to get too much into it,” Elliott said when asked about the discipline in his first meeting with reporters since the Atlanta game. “Just putting my best foot forward.” Dallas trailed the Eagles 7-3 when Elliott fumbled, but got another chance when Micah Parsons sacked Jalen Hurts and forced a fumble recovered by Marist Liufau.
