Ezekiel Elliott didn't travel with the Dallas Cowboys to face the Atlanta Falcons this weekend, marking a surprising twist in his season. However, on Monday, Elliott returned to The Star, the Cowboys' practice facility, signaling that both he and the team are prepared to move forward. The recent hiccup, though noteworthy, seems to be something the Cowboys are ready to put behind them as they gear up for the rest of the season.

Yet, despite their interactions on Monday, McCarthy noted that they hadn't held a formal sit-down to iron out the details.

The Denver Broncos had their fair share of ups and downs recently, and all eyes have landed on one player: Bo Nix. In their blowout loss to the Ravens, Nix was forced into playing more roles than anyone anticipated, filling in as quarterback, wide receiver, and running back.

This decision, announced by the Yankees late on Monday, leaves Yankees fans breathing a sigh of relief, as Cole will continue to be a central figure on the team’s pitching staff. Originally, Cole had the option to become a free agent unless the Yankees added a fifth year to his contract, effectively making it a $180 million, five-year deal. However, despite declining that addition, the Yankees still managed to work out an agreement, treating the opt-out as if it hadn’t happened.
