Running Back Ezekiel Elliott has had a turbulent ride in the past 2 campaigns. Because of his persisting leg injury, he wasn’t very productive. Despite a tough year, his determination for 2022 remains unwavering. Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy recently provided an update on RB Elliot and his rehabbing knee. This is also good news for the roster’s RB depth.

The Dallas Cowboys have had an active offseason and are looking to secure the Eastern Conference for the second year running. While the franchise has filled some empty spaces through the draft, fans are expecting the injured reserve athletes to return to the field. Ezekiel Elliott is one such athlete who is rallying back for a 2022 comeback in the performance aspect.

Ezekiel Elliott appears to be fit and active. He’s lighting it up, sprinting at 22 miles per hour on Tuesday. As told by Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy, Zeke is putting up good timing. Although recent past indicates it doesn’t translate into in-match results. The Athletic’s Jon Machota gives an update on the Dallas Cowboys RB on Twitter. When asked if the Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s knee is 100 percent healthy, McCarthy had a positive answer towards it.
