Ezekiel Elliott will not play for the Dallas Cowboys against the Atlanta Falcons, marking the first time in his career that he misses a game for reasons other than injury or suspension. His absence is reportedly due to disciplinary reasons, leaving Rico Dowdle and Dalvin Cook to handle the running game.

The Cowboys are also missing key defensive players Micah Parsons and DaRon Bland as they aim to end a two-game losing streak and improve their playoff chances. The team currently ranks last in the NFL for rushing yards.
