Cardinals rookie running back Andre Ellington, who had been out with a concussion, returned to action in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys.

Ellington took over in the fourth quarter as he made a quick impact in his first drive. He broke for a 24-yard run and brought down a 12 yard pass from third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley. He finished the game with 39 yards of total offense, logging 24 yards on 10 carries (2.4 yards per carry) and 15 yards on two receptions in a 12-7 victory.
