The Cowboys will consider giving RB Ezekiel Elliott some time off to help the bone bruise in his knee heal, ESPN's Ed Werder reports. Werder specifically mentions Zeke being held out of next Thursday night's game vs. the Saints. He adds that IR is not being considered "at this time." HC Mike McCarthy admitted earlier on Friday that he's concerned about Elliott's situation. "Zeke's running style is ferocious," McCarthy said. "He gives a pounding, and he takes some hits. We need to evaluate that, and this week we'll see what the preparation looks like for him." We'll continue to keep an eye on the situation, but Elliott owners should start preparing for him to miss Week 13. Tony Pollard will be a RB1 whenever Zeke sits.
The bone bruise to Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott's knee is expected to linger for the rest of the season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones mentioned after Thursday's loss to the Raiders that the team will need to alter the game plan to reduce Zeke's volume going forward. We saw that on Thanksgiving, with Elliott handling 9 carries and 8 targets to RB Tony Pollard's 10 carries and 4 targets. We'll keep a close eye on this split in coming weeks. But, for now, consider Elliott more of a high-end RB2 and Pollard a viable RB3 or flex play.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb is still awaiting full clearance out of the concussion protocol, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms.

It sounds like we'll need to wait until Dallas' inactives come out around 3 pm ET to find out whether Lamb is playing vs. the Raiders.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Raiders. He put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Dallas has been surprisingly optimistic about Lamb's chances of getting cleared for this one -- and it looks like he has a shot.

The NFL confirmed on Wednesday that Vikings RB Dalvin Cook remains eligible to play against the Vikings on Sunday, despite the assault allegations levied against him by his ex-girlfriend. There have been no criminal charges filed against Cook, though. “The NFL is reviewing the matter under the personal conduct policy, and there is no change to his status," the league said in a statement. HC Mike Zimmer said that Cook will practice on Wednesday. This is a developing situation. But, as of now, Cook seems on track to play this weekend.
Vikings RB Dalvin Cook has been accused of assault by an ex-girlfriend. Gracelyn Trimble alleges that Cook caused a concussion and facial injuries during a disagreement last November. Cook's representatives claim that Trimble was the aggressor, breaking into Cook's house, assaulting him and now extorting him for millions of dollars. But Trimble has messages from Cook about the incident, including him saying, "I know what I did can't be rewind...If you wanna go to the police I'll respect that I'll take my punishment for what I did!" Both the NFL and Vikings declined comment on Tuesday night. We'll see where this goes. RB Alexander Mattison needs to be owned in all fantasy leagues as a RB1 if Cook misses time.

ESPN's Ed Werder reported on NFL Live that the Cowboys have an "unlimited" game plan for QB Dak Prescott (calf) this week. Werder said that means the team will take full advantage of Prescott's mobility outside the pocket. Dallas played it extremely safe with this calf injury, so we're not expecting Prescott to be at all limited vs. Denver on Sunday.
