On Monday, the Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was examined. The results showed that he had sprained his right knee (MCL). The news came after the Cowboys’ victory on Sunday over the Detroit Lions. It is a piece of deplorable news for the Cowboys fans. According to Physicians, the injury is a Grade 2 Sprain. It means there is a moderate sprain with an MCL rupture. Additionally, the thigh is damaged as well.

In the last season, the running back sustained a partially ruptured posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. This prevented him from playing in the last season. However, he played all the games wearing a brace at the end of the season. But people were especially worried this time.

The Dallas Cowboys have a bye after the Bears game. This will allow Elliott a two-week layoff. But the HC of the team, Mike McCarthy, made it clear that the bye-week will not have any effect on future decisions.

Dallas’ next best option would be Tony Pollard if Elliott is unable to participate. On 67 carries, he has 375 yards and two TDs.
