While now-former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott continues to try and search for his new NFL home, he was recently seen practicing with a good friend named Dak Prescott. The pair were teammates with the Cowboys for years, and it certainly affected Prescott when the Cowboys made the call to release him.
Prescott had this to say when Elliott was cut:
“I really can’t imagine taking the field without him,” Prescott said. “It’s something that I don’t know if it’s completely hit me yet.”
“It’s tough. He’s a brother, playing the game with a brother to start our NFL career and share so many memories,” he continued. “We grew up as men with this organization.”
“Obviously, I’ve talked to him. I’m hurt. I’m sure he is,” Prescott said. “But it’s more important for me to just support him. I know he’s got more opportunities coming his way. I love that guy, I’m proud of him.”
Some are speculating that there is actually a chance that the Cowboys could elect to bring back Elliott at some point.
