Ezekiel Elliott, pictured in January 2017, was kept out of the Dallas Cowboys' workouts for a second day after suffering a head injury in a minor car accident

The Cowboys announced the 21-year-old Pro Bowl rusher was being kept out of training sessions as a precaution after hitting his head as a passenger in a Sunday accident.

The Cowboys announced the 21-year-old Pro Bowl rusher, who led the NFL with 1,631 rushing yards last season as a rookie, was being kept out of training sessions as a precaution after hitting his head as a passenger in a Sunday accident.

While not seriously hurt, Elliott was treated for a head injury.

Elliott had also been involved in a car accident in January, before the Cowboys hosted the Green Bay Packers in a playoff game, but he was unharmed in that incident.

The Cowboys lost 34-31 to the Packers in that second round playoff contest, ending their season after a 13-4 campaign.
