The Dallas Cowboys have been without one of their biggest stars for their past two games, and despite valiant efforts from Tony Pollard, who racked up 246 yards and 4 Touchdown's in his two starts, so whenever Ezekiel Elliott comes back, they'll have a massive decision on their hands.
That return could come in Week 11, as Elliott has declared that he's expecting to return, and despite the loss in Week 10 to the Green Bay Packers, the ground game has been as good as ever without him in the lineup. Given Elliott's stature as a star running back in the NFL, it's highly unlikely that he will be relegated to a backup role, but it will be an intriguing decision nonetheless, as there's no way that Pollard can be shut out of the offence entirely.
Either way, while Dallas haven't confirmed the news, Zeke himself expects to be back in Week 11, and with a crucial matchup against the Minnesota Vikings upcoming, they'll need all hands on deck if they are to take down the 8-1 NFC leaders.#Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott is expecting to return vs #Vikings after missing two games with hyperextended knee. “I’m definitely very optimistic about this week. Barring any setbacks the next couple of days, I’m feeling good…I think I’m in a good spot.” Will wear brace. pic.twitter.com/F8BzpVZhGN
