Jerry Jones: Elliott's visit to marijuana dispensary 'not good'
Jerry Jones isn't pleased with his young running back's decision-making.
As first reported by TMZ, first-round rookie Ezekiel Elliott was spotted in a Seattle marijuana dispensary Thursday afternoon before the Dallas Cowboys took on the Seahawks in a preseason game.
Sources told TMZ that Elliott wasn't seen buying anything during his visit, adding that it's common for tourists to browse such shops, but the Cowboys owner knows the perception isn't ideal.
"It's just not good,'' Jones said after the game, according to David Moore of the Dallas News. "That's a part of just really getting the big picture here.''
The fact that Elliott stopped to take pictures with fans all but confirms he wasn't doing anything wrong. Putting himself in that situation, though, where questions will arise about the NFL's strict drug policy, is concerning for the team.
"In general, while it may not be wrong, it's just not good,'' Jones added. "I don't want to say anymore.''
Elliott racked up 48 yards on seven carries in his first preseason action.
