Injury Report: RB Ezekiel Elliott, DE Aldon Smith Still Limited

FRISCO, Texas — Cowboys’ running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) and defensive end Aldon Smith (knee) were limited in practice for the second-straight day on Thursday.

Dallas will host the undefeated Steelers on Sunday and Mike McCarthy confirmed earlier today that there would be a cutback in reps as they monitor both Elliott and Smith but does not think the nature of the injures are of major concern. McCarthy anticipates both playing on Sunday.

The quarterback situation is still under further review as both Cooper Rush and Garrett Gilbert receive reps with the first-team offense. The staff will make a decision after a “full week” of evaluation.

McCarthy elaborated, “ This is not a statistical decision. This is really based off of the rhythm and continuity and command. We need to make sure we exercise our game plan against the Steelers defense. “
