News: PFT: Ezekiel Elliott will continue wearing knee brace for added stability

[Reality]

Highly suspect we will hear after the season (or before) he has something major torn in his knee and he doesn't want to have season ending surgery.

Old man Zeke. NFL takes a toll.

I wouldn't think a knee brace helps much with mobility. I'd be happy, though, if he'd just get his power back. Been strange to see Elliott run into the pile and the pile not move backward.

Just great...guy went from 4.7 40 back to 5.2...you could time him with a sun dial ....

Zeke has that Emmitt Smith heart and had a fantastic 4 year run (no pun intended). I’d love for him to somehow bounce back and give us a nice ~25 game stretch before his days in Big D are up.

Bro just sit him for the next two and let clement run it.

it’s amazing isn’t when you think of a guy like Emmitt and how long he lasted and produced at a high level. They just don’t make them like that anymore which is why I don’t think anyone ever comes close to his record.

Franchise preparing to unload Zeke, and the Board will blame him for all the TEAM failures.

It is was something major he wouldn't be able to play like he is.

If there is something torn it's minor enough he can play through it

You'd be surprised. I tore my meniscus earlier this year, and the knee brace i had literally had me going from limping that morning to running back and forth on a basketball court in the afternoon, and that's just from the one i got from Amazon. I'm sure Zekes will be much better

 

[atlantacowboy]

Not good news. Looks like he'll be running between the tackles with no threat of bouncing it out. Pollard has a bad foot...... the run game is suddenly in trouble.

Same. Fans seem to only look at production these days, and lose sight of intangibles like toughness, heart. Zeke is that guy for us. He won't quit on the team when he can still play, he'll block LBs and DTs head on when he's asked. Really cheering for him to get healthy and turn it around this year, because he's been playing hard and deserves it

I think Elliot’s injuries started earlier than the knee. I have heard he had a ankle injury also. He hasn’t been 100%. Hoping he is better but wearing brace as a precaution and not still hurt. He isn’t going down hill that fast. He was making jump cuts and breaking tackles. You don’t see the big plays because of the O-Line..

Not that comforting when you hear someone say “yeah, I gotta wear this brace to hold everything together.”

i think the same...and if he doesn't yet, he probably will tear something by the end of the year.

After re-watching game yesterday, I will say, he did look noticeably better on Sunday compared to previous weeks.

That didn't happen last game. He BLASTED the pile forward.

I believe Zeke and Barkley will be the last RBs ever to be taken in the top 5.
