Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is poised to have a significantly increased role in the offense on Sunday when he faces his former Cowboys teammates. Elliott, who has came off the bench in all three games this season, will get starter reps against Dallas in Week 4, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“My understanding is his role is expected to increase today against his former team,” Rapoport said. “They know, in this building, how much this game means to him. I’m told he’s expected to get starter reps at running back. Will he actually start? That depends on the play.”
