With their playoff life hanging in the balance, the Dallas Cowboys will get star running back Ezekiel Elliott back in Week 16 of the NFL season.
The Dallas Cowboys won a big one during their NFL Week 15 game against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday night. In Week 16, the Cowboys will get back star running back Ezekiel Elliott, who has wrapped up his six-game suspension. Elliott will join a Cowboys team looking to stay alive in the playoff race but will need to win out if they want to make the playoffs for the second straight season.
Tina Becker began her career with the Carolina Panthers back in 1999, as the director of team cheerleaders. On Monday, she was put in charge of the day-to-day operations of the Panthers, taking over for team owner Jerry Richardson. Richardson is being investigated for workplace misconduct and has been relieved of his duties of running the Panthers from day-to-day.
Staying with the Panthers, they will be without their star linebacker for the rest of the regular season. Thomas Davis was suspended for two games for his hit on Davante Adams on Sunday, which saw Adams have to leave the game in the concussion protocol. Davis and the Panthers are looking to stay atop the NFC South, though the Falcons and Saints are nipping at their heels.

Rodgers broke his collarbone a couple of months back, and had missed the last eight weeks.
