The Cowboys, at least outwardly, aren’t missing Ezekiel Elliott. With their star running back holding out of training camp, fourth-round pick Tony Pollard is drawing eyeballs and getting rave reviews instead. The latest in this standoff seems to be that the Cowboys are claiming happiness with what they’ve got in the rookie — mitigating the need to capitulate to Elliott. […]

The Gio Urshela legend grows. Already with a monster two-run homer Sunday night against the Red Sox, the defensively gifted Yankees infielder drew an even bigger reaction from the Yankee Stadium crowd in the sixth inning after fouling a ball hard off of each knee, only to stay in the game.
