The Facts: Elliott has not participated in the Cowboys' first two OTAs this week after he was a passenger in a car involved in an accident last weekend, although the team doesn't sound overly concerned about his condition. HC Jason Garrett met with the media on Wednesday and said that he anticipates Elliott will be back on the field when the second week of OTAs gets underway next Tuesday.
Diehards Line:
Garrett said that Elliott had some soreness and stiffness after the accident, but is otherwise OK. As PFT suggests, given Elliott’s importance to the offense, the cautious approach is an unsurprising one and it wouldn’t come as a great shock if the Cowboys gave him even more time off if he isn’t feeling all the way back to normal come Tuesday.
