Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Could practice Monday

Elliot worked with the Cowboys' first-team offense during Monday's walkthrough, indicating he could return to team drills in practice later in the day, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Elliot sat out the Cowboys' preseason opener Saturday while nursing a hamstring ailment, but had been increasing his individual workload in the build-up to that game. Now, Dallas' No. 1 draft pick is back on the field with the starting offense to begin this week, suggesting he could return to full practice participation soon. That could come as early as Monday afternoon's session, so expect an update on his situation shortly.
