Cowboys Plane Leaves for Training Camp Without Ezekiel Elliott
Is Zeke Elliott holding out?
Maybe, maybe not.
The Cowboys run their training camp out in California for whatever reason, and today the team plane departed without the star running back on board:
My sources tell me that despite a seat assignment on today’s flight to LA, with less than 10 minutes before takeoff, Ezekiel Elliott, is not on the plane. Players in the past have met the team in Oxnard. He has until tomorrow am to do so. #Cowboys #TrainingCamp

It’s official. My sources tell me Ezekiel Elliott is not on the flight to LA. Again, he has until Friday am to show up at camp though. Players have chosen to fly on their own in the past #Cowboys #TrainingCamp

This was confirmed by Schefter and others.
As Slater mentions, Zeke didn’t HAVE to be on the plane, since he can meet the team in Cali. But if he doesn’t, then the Cowboys will be dealing with a holdout situation, which is something you’d just hate to see.
