The same applies to QB Dak Prescott, WRs Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper, as well as TEs Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin. Elliott's next game action thus will occur in the team's season opener Sept. 9 against Tampa Bay. With no known current injury concerns, Elliott once again is poised to head Dallas' ground game in 2021, with the offense as a whole bolstered by the looming return of Prescott.
