In a surprising turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys were unable to secure former Texas Longhorns running back Jonathon Brooks in the NFL draft. Despite their high interest in him, Brooks ended up being drafted by the Carolina Panthers on Friday night, leaving the Cowboys without a running back addition.

However, the absence of a new running back has sparked rumors of a potential reunion with Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys' star runner. Owner Jerry Jones did not confirm any developments on Friday but left the door open for the possibility of adding a back in the final rounds.

Jones acknowledged that the draft was not over yet and highlighted the delayed run on running backs in this year's draft. However, he emphasized the Cowboys' keen interest in exploring what the future may hold with Elliott in their lineup.

Jones expressed his belief that Elliott is still capable of being a starting running back in the NFL, suggesting a positive outlook for his potential return to the Cowboys. While the owner did not provide explicit confirmation, it appears increasingly likely that Elliott will once again be the team's starter come September.

As the draft concluded without the addition of a running back, attention now turns to the possibility of a reunion with the dynamic running back duo of Elliott and the Cowboys. Fans will eagerly await any official announcements from the team regarding their plans for the upcoming season.

With the knowledge that Jones has not ruled out the addition of a running back in the later rounds, the suspense continues as the Cowboys and their fans eagerly anticipate what the final day of the draft may bring.
