Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Gets vote of confidence from Jerry Jones

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Elliott will not have his workload reduced in response to his two fumbles during Sunday's win over Washington, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Elliott didn't have fumbling issues in college, and Jones believes the rookie running back has proper technique to avoid any such problems in the future. Things could change if Elliott keeps fumbling, but it doesn't sound like the one shaky performance will have much impact on his workload beyond Sunday's win. Alfred Morris closed out the game with Dallas' final three carries, bringing him up to five touches for the afternoon. Lance Dunbar also had five, while Elliott had 23 (two catches).
