FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will miss his second straight day of organized team activities after being involved in a car accident Sunday, according to multiple sources.
The sources said Elliott was did not suffer any significant injuries, but the team is being precautious with its star running back, who led the NFL with 1,631 yards in 2016. Elliott was a passenger in a car that was hit.
The week before the Cowboys' playoff game against the Green Bay Packers in January, Elliott was involved in a minor accident on his way to the facility.
With Elliott not practicing, Darren McFadden will take the first-team snaps.
Elliott's representatives declined comment.
The Cowboys opened up Phase 3 of the offseason program on Monday and had their first 11-on-11 work on Tuesday. The Cowboys hold their OTAs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for three weeks. The offseason concludes with a mandatory minicamp in June.

Glad it sounds minor. No need to risk injury with a guy like Elliott at an OTA anyway. These are non contact practices. There isn't a whole lot a guy like Elliott can do other then work on his route running maybe.
