Ezekiel Elliott, former member of the Dallas Cowboys, will be returning to AT&T Stadium as a member of the New England Patriots. Elliott acknowledges that there will be some emotions involved in facing his former team, but he is focused on preparing for the game. He had a phone call with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones before being released, and there was minimal talk about a potential return to the Cowboys on a reduced contract. Elliott believes he still has plenty left in the tank and considers himself a very good back. Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and running back Tony Pollard both speak highly of Elliott's influence and mentorship. The Cowboys are planning a tribute to Elliott before kickoff.
