In the recent video released by the Cowboys’ Twitter handle, the 27-year-old was rushing down the field despite receiving great resistance. He was lauded for his speed, and the ongoing sessions are pointing at the hard work before the Cowboys’ second preseason against the Los Angeles Chargers.

A few days ago, a similar video was released with Elliott taking a shot from LB Bradley Chubb, followed by a heated exchange of words. Before it became a full-blown scuffle, both of them were separated, and the session continued. Although he couldn’t perform at his best in the previous season, the Running Back is confident to enter his seventh NFL season. “I’ve been playing football 20 years,” Elliott said Wednesday at Cowboys’ camp in Oxnard.

“This is my seventh year in the NFL. I’ve seen a lot of football. I don’t think I need a preseason game, especially with the joint practices. I think if I handle my business every day, then I’ll be in a pretty good situation at the end of the season.” he added to his explanation.
