Report: Zeke flies back from Mexico, no deal imminent
When the Dallas Cowboys return to Texas from their tropical trip, Ezekiel Elliott will apparently be waiting for them.
The star running back was spotted on a flight from Mexico, where he'd been working out at his agent's home in Cabo San Lucas amid his holdout for a new contract.
But Elliott ending his training south of the border doesn't mean talks for a new deal have advanced, a source told Mike Fisher of Maven Sports.

Mike Leslie of WFAA also reports an extension has not been reached, though the team remains optimistic a new deal will be completed soon.
The Cowboys are currently in Hawaii ahead of their preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams in the state's first exhibition contest since 1976.
