Cowboys News: Elliott dealing with calf issue, club flexed out of public eye

Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman said the organization had a lot to fix before the 2021 season. Cowboys-49ers flexed from primetime.

Late in the fourth quarter of the Dallas Cowboys’ 34-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Hall of Famer Troy Aikman stated that he didn’t know what direction the organization will go moving forward considering they have so many issues to fix. Normally, the NFL would find reasons to have the Cowboys play in primetime, but with a 3-9 record their game against the San Francisco 49ers on December 20 has been flexed for the New York Giants battle with the Cleveland Browns.

Ezekiel Elliott’s difficult 2020 campaign took another potential hit on Wednesday as he showed up on the injury report with a calf issue. The Cowboys were expected to be one of the most successful teams that featured a first-year head coach, but instead, they’re currently in line for a top 5 pick in next year’s draft.
