Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Not playing Saturday

Elliott (hamstring) won't take the field for Saturday's preseason game at Los Angeles, Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Elliott was able to work on the side at Wednesday's practice, ending a week-long absence as he tended to a hamstring issue. The Cowboys are clearly taking a prudent approach with the rookie running back, who will serve to buttress an offense operated by aging signal-caller Tony Romo.
