Ezekiel Elliott is dealing with a bruised right knee, but doesn't want to take any time off.

After Thursday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, Mike McCarthy expressed concern for Elliott's health after the running back had just 25 yards on nine carries.

A source said the Cowboys will consider providing Elliott time off to heal, including the possibility of holding him out of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

"No one's came to me and asked me to rest," Elliott said.

If they do, Elliott said he would listen.

"I've just got to go with what they believe is best for the team," he said.
