The Cowboys are waiving running back Ezekiel Elliott, per veteran NFL insider Josina Anderson.
Elliott requested his release so he could explore an opportunity with a playoff-bound team. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones released a statement (via Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer) praising Elliott as “one of the greatest to every play with the Star on their helmet.
“Out of respect and appreciation for Zeke and wanting to provide him with an opportunity to pursue any potential playoff participation possible, we are releasing him from the Cowboys roster today,” said Jones in the statement.
More to come.
