Ezekiel Elliott has knee sprain, uncertain to play vs. Bears

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott's availability could be up in the air for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears because of a sprained right knee.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Elliott will not practice Wednesday and do rehab off to the side as Dallas looks to manage his workload during the week.

The Cowboys have a bye after playing the Bears, and a two-week break for Elliott could serve him well for the long haul. But McCarthy said that will not factor in a potential decision this week.
