The Cowboys expect running back Ezekiel Elliott to make his return from a knee injury on Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings.

Elliott has stated all week that he has felt “optimistic about this week” despite being listed as questionable on the injury report. The running back hasn’t played since the Cowboys’ win over the Lions on Oct. 23 where he hyper-extended and bruised his knee in the second quarter.
