The Facts: Following up on the previous item. ... Elliott will miss a few days of training camp practice after he injured his right hamstring late in team drills Tuesday, club executive vice president Stephen Jones told reporters Wednesday. "He's sore. We'll be obviously very conservative with that in terms of how he feels," Jones said. "Those soft tissue issues in camps can be tricky. We have to make sure all the soreness is out and he's ready to go before we put him back out there. I don't see him getting back out here. He may miss some time."

He never went back into team drills. The Cowboys' backfield as a whole is banged up early in camp. Darren McFadden is on the active/non-football injury list after undergoing elbow surgery last month. Pass-catching back Lance Dunbar continues to rehab last year's knee injury. Free-agent pickup Alfred Morris is slated to get the majority of first-team carries until Elliott returns to practice. Jones added the team doesn't plan to add a running back to its training camp roster at this time. Rookie Darius Jackson and Rod Smith round out the depth chart. ... This seems like a minor issue, but we'll obviously keep a close eye on it.
