Elliott carried the ball eight times for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

His longest gain went for only six yards as Elliott once again failed to make any kind of impact. The veteran back is averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry and has shown nothing that would suggest he's a threat to Rico Dowdle as Dallas' No. 1 RB. With the Cowboys on bye Week 7, they could use the break to evaluate their backfield and decide whether or not Dalvin Cook, who currently is stashed on the practice squad, deserves a look in Elliott's place Week 8 against the 49ers.
