Ezekiel Elliott’s time with the Dallas Cowboys may be coming to an end, as his struggles have become a significant concern for the team.

However, an ideal replacement for him has just become available, offering a potential solution to the Cowboys’ running back dilemma.

The Cowboys suffered yet another loss in Week 9, falling 27-21 to the Atlanta Falcons.

This defeat marked their third straight loss, leaving fans wondering if the team can turn things around in the second half of the season.

One notable absence in the latest game was Ezekiel Elliott, who was a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. Elliott’s poor performance this season has raised questions about his future with the team.

Though some fans may be disappointed to see Elliott go, there’s no denying that his struggles have contributed to the Cowboys’ issues in the run game.

Fortunately, the perfect replacement for Elliott has just become available.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, free-agent running back Boston Scott is fully healthy and ready to return to action after recovering from a partially torn meniscus.

Scott, a former Philadelphia Eagle, has spent the past two months rehabbing and is now prepared to join a new team. He could be a valuable addition to the Cowboys’ backfield.

Cowboys fans are no strangers to Scott, who played all 75 of his career games with the Eagles after joining the team as a free agent in 2018.

However, Scott’s time with the Eagles came to an end this offseason when he signed with the LA Rams. His stay with the Rams was short-lived, as he was released before the 53-man roster deadline in August.

Scott then joined the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad but was released after just two weeks due to an injury settlement.

Despite not playing this season, Scott’s career numbers suggest he could be an asset to the Cowboys.

Over his career, Scott has accumulated over 1,800 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns, averaging 4.3 yards per carry last season on 20 attempts.

His versatility and experience could provide a much-needed boost to the Cowboys’ struggling ground game.

Meanwhile, Elliott’s performance continues to decline. The three-time Pro Bowl running back has managed just 149 yards and two touchdowns on 48 carries this season, averaging a career-low 21.3 rushing yards per game.

This lackluster production has led to Rico Dowdle assuming the role of the team’s starting running back, with even Dalvin Cook starting to see more touches.

The Cowboys may need to act quickly if they are interested in signing Scott, as NFL insider Jordan Schultz also reported that the New Orleans Saints are planning to work out the free-agent running back.

This means other teams could soon show interest in Scott, particularly with the trade deadline approaching on Tuesday.

As the Cowboys prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, they’ll be hoping to avoid a fourth consecutive loss.

The Cowboys are currently 6.5-point underdogs according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and coach Mike McCarthy will need all the help he can get to turn the season around.

In the meantime, if the Cowboys do consider adding Scott to their roster, he could provide the spark needed to rejuvenate their struggling rushing attack.

With Elliott’s future uncertain, Scott could offer a promising alternative to help Dallas get back on track.
