Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott may not have been awarded the new contract he’s been seeking — at least not yet — but he has elected to end his holdout, having flown back to Dallas on Tuesday.
And he finally hit the practice field to join his teammates for the first time on Wednesday.
It was quite the scene, as reporters from numerous media outlets — some at the national level, even — elected to cover the event. As such, some shots of Elliott practicing on the field have surfaced.

Ezekiel Elliott returns to the field with teammates for the first time in 83 days. HC Jason Garrett says he’s in “good shape”. No conditioning run but will rely on Zeke/staff to be open & honest about how he looks/feels ahead of Sunday. Similar to player coming back from injury. pic.twitter.com/sfFY7GfDug

It’s great to see Elliott back in the Cowboys backfield once again, and we assume this means the two sides are very close to finalizing a new deal.
