Team news: Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys and QB Dak Prescott have a deal.

Update: Cowboys are giving Dak Prescott a four-year, $160 million deal, including a record $126 million guaranteed, source tells ESPN.

The first three years average $42 million per year.

Still awaiting details of the contract, but a healthy Dak Prescott with his talented weapons lands him as a top-five QB for 2021.

Update: The contract is a four-year, $160 million deal, including a record $126 million of it guaranteed. The first three years average $42 million per season.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will play in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Elliott missed Week 15 against the 49ers but was trending towards returning for what amounts to an elimination game against the Eagles, though a Washington win eliminates both teams. After Tony Pollard’s big day against the 49ers, Dallas could split the workload pretty evenly between the two. The down year for Elliott was empathized by Alvin Kamara scoring more touchdowns against the Vikings (6) than Elliott has scored all season (5). Both backs are flex options for championship week.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup will not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News.

This keep the Cowboys WR trio in tact in an important NFC East battle.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott is questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Mike Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News.

This was expected to go down to the wire, so be prepared to play another option.

Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy announced that running back Ezekiel Elliott will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Zeke was held out of last week's game as a game-time decision, but the limited Wednesday practice suggests he has a decent chance at returning in Week 16. Backup Tony Pollard performed admirably in Elliott's absence and would get another start if Zeke is forced to sit again. Check back later in the week for updates on Elliott's status.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup avoided serious injury in Sunday’s win over 49ers. Exited third quarter with a hip pointer, source said.

Gallup hasn’t been ruled out for Sunday’s divisional game against Eagles, the tweet said. And with the Cowboys and the rest of the NFC East teams still alive for the division, this will be a key game for both teams so Gallup may try to play through the injury. He produced a 3-26-1 line behind Lamb's 8-85-0 line last week, while Cooper had just two catches for 10 yards in the win over the 49ers.
