Ezekiel Elliott is preparing to face his former team in an emotional homecoming when the Dallas Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The former Cowboys running back, who was traded to the Eagles in the offseason, will return to AT&T Stadium for the first time since his departure.
The move was a surprise to many fans, as Elliott had been one of the most productive players in the NFL during his five years with the Cowboys. He was a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro selection, and he led the league in rushing yards in 2016 and 2018.
Elliott admitted that it will be an emotional experience for him to return to Dallas. “It’s going to be a special moment for me,” he said. “I’m sure there will be some emotions that come with it.”
The Cowboys are also expecting an emotional day, as they will honor Elliott with a video tribute during the game. The team has also invited several of Elliott’s former teammates to attend the game and join in the celebration.
Elliott is looking forward to the opportunity to reconnect with his former teammates and coaches. “I’m excited to see them,” he said. “I’m sure there will be some hugs and some laughs.”
The game will also be a chance for Elliott to prove himself against his former team. He has already had a strong start to the season with the Eagles, rushing for over 100 yards in three of his first four games.
Elliott is eager to show the Cowboys what they are missing out on. “I want to go out there and show them why I’m still one of the best running backs in the league,” he said.
Sunday’s game promises to be an emotional homecoming for Ezekiel Elliott as he returns to AT&T Stadium for the first time since his departure from the Cowboys. It will be a chance for him to reconnect with his former teammates and coaches, as well as prove himself against his former team. It should be an exciting game for all involved.
