how he feels, Jones said. Those soft-tissue issues in camp can be tricky, so weve got to make sure that all the soreness is out and hes ready to go

OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott will miss some time, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones, because of a sore right hamstring.Elliott was unable to finish Tuesdays practice and had his leg stretched out in the middle of the workout. Jones did not have a definitive timetable as to when Elliott would return. But a team source told ESPNs Ed Werder that Elliott will probably miss about a week.Well be very conservative with that in terms of how he feels, Jones said. Those soft-tissue issues in camp can be tricky, so weve got to make sure that all the soreness is out and hes ready to go before we put him back out there. I dont see him getting back out there, you know. He may miss some time.The Cowboys return to practice on Thursday and have another off day on Monday. Their first preseason game is Aug. 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.Elliott had been working with the first-team offense with last years leading rusher, Darren McFadden, sidelined because of a broken elbow. The fourth overall pick in the draft has made a favorable impression among coaches and teammates with what he was able to do in the spring and early in training camp.With Elliott and McFadden out, Alfred Morris would move into the first-team role. The Cowboys signed him to a two-year deal in the offseason as a free agent after a four-year run with the Washington Redskins in which he posted three 1,000-yard seasons.Jones said the Cowboys are not on the lookout for a running back, despite the injuries to Elliott; McFadden, who is on the non-football injury list; and Lance Dunbar, who is on the physically unable to perform list recovering from a knee injury.Fullback Rod Smith will take some tailback snaps with rookie Darius Jackson, a sixth-round pick, the only other healthy runner available.ESPNs Ed Werder contributed to this report.

Oshie hitting him with his stick in front on a power-play scramble and ended up unleashing a couple punches of his own that led to a roughing minor.More or less cross-checking my knee while I was down, Talbot said. I didnt think that was right so I more or less gave him a shot back and it was even after that.Washington cut into the lead 9 seconds into the third as Ovechkin slid a puck under Talbot, scoring in his fourth consecutive game.Edmonton shook off that goal quickly, though, as McDavid set up Jesse Puljujarvi for a glorious opportunity that Maroon finished off a rebound.The Oilers got some insurance midway through the third when Lucic tipped Andrej Sekeras power-play point shot into the net.Game notes It was the first of two meetings this season between the Capitals and Oilers.
