Team news: Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on 1053thefan on what looked like a Dak Prescott knee injury last night: “He’s in good shape. He might have hyperextended it a little bit. We were checking with the sideline, and we knew he was going to be good.”

Prescott never missed any time in the game, but he was noticeably grabbing at his knee and walking gingerly at one point. He had at least one scramble after the possible "hyperextension," so, hopefully, he's in good shape through the rest of Dallas' season.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (thigh) will be inactive tonight against the Titans.

NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo has called this a breakout game for Malik Davis, who the team is high on. Whether or not this hyperbole could be debated, but the Titans are sitting a ton of starters, so there could be something to his statement. Elliot is a locked-in RB2, regardless.

Tony Pollard is going to really have to show the Cowboys he can go tonight in his pregame workout. If not, they’ll exercise caution and sit him. Malik Davis would then see an increased role behind Ezekiel Elliott.

It's hard to say exactly what kind of a role Malik Davis would have tonight, but the Cowboys are 12.5-point favorites, so you have to wonder how long they'll keep Zeke in the game if that game script plays out. If Pollard sits, Elliot should be a confident RB2, but you would have to be in a desperate mode to play Davis in your Flex during Championship Week.

The Cowboys are securing veteran WR help, after all, signing longtime Colts star T.Y. Hilton. He’s on a visit with the team today and should provide help down the stretch and in the playoffs.

This is probably not the veteran FA that Cowboys fans were hoping for, but here we are. The team just brought James Washington back from IR but he only ran 13 routes in Week 14. Dallas heading into the playoffs four-deep at wide receiver would be a dangerous prospect, depending on what Hilton has left in the tank.

Jerry Jones on 1053thefan on Ezekiel Elliott (knee): “We are a better team when we’ve got him and got him available. Defenses are well aware, more than anybody of his impact and his availability. I’m glad to have him back, and it does look like he’s gonna be available (Sunday).”

From the main man himself, it looks like Zeke will be available and, presumably, on the field for Sunday's action against the Vikings. The struggle continues for Tony Pollard managers, and neither can be considered an RB1 play if they're both on the field.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott is expecting to return vs. the Vikings after missing two games with a 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.” He will wear a brace.

The Cowboys have shown time and again that they are willing to run Zeke until his wheels fall off, much to the chagrin of Tony Pollard managers. If Elliott is indeed good to go, expect the team to revert back to the 1A/1B committee, which leaves both options closer to the RB2 range than the RB1 range.
