Elliott Released by Cowboys, Hopes to Join Playoff Contender

Dallas, TX - In a surprising move on Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys announced that they have released veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott. The team hopes that Elliott will sign with a playoff-bound team, bolstering their chances in the postseason.

According to sources close to the team, the decision was made due to the fact that Elliott's playing time and production had diminished significantly during the offseason.

"We appreciate Zeke for his contributions to our franchise over the years," said Cowboys General Manager Jerry Jones. "However, with our current roster needs, we felt it was in the best interest of the club to move forward in a different direction."

Elliott's departure marks the latest development in a season filled with surprises.

Meanwhile, on the PGA Tour, Maverick McNealy is celebrating his latest victory. In an exclusive interview, McNealy attributed his success to his brother Scout, who not only caddied for him but also officiated his wedding in 2018.

"It's been amazing to see how far I've come and it's all thanks to my family," said McNealy. "My brother Scout has always been there for me, supporting me every step of the way. He even helped me through the tough times by playing DJ at my wedding."

The NBA is also taking action following an altercation between players from the Rockets and Heat. NBA officials have announced suspensions to Amen Thompson of the Rockets and Terry Rozier of the Heat due to the incident.

In addition to the player suspensions, several other players and a coach have been fined for their roles in the altercation.
