Elliott will miss Wednesday's practice due to discomfort in his knee, but he plans to return to the field Thursday and play in Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Elliott certainly looked healthy in Sunday's win over Carolina, taking 20 carries for 143 yards and a touchdown. Tony Pollard also got double-digit touches, but that's been the norm recently even when Elliott has been healthy and productive. With their defense playing better and wideout Michael Gallup (calf) on injured reserve, the Cowboys have featured a balanced offense in which Elliott is averaging 16 carries per game and Pollard is taking 9.3. Pollard could end up seeing more work if Elliott has to play through pain in Week 5, though there doesn't seem to be much concern about a possible absence at this point.
