Dak Prescott made his heavily anticipated return for the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 7 victory over the Detroit Lions, but now the team may be without star running back Ezekiel Elliott when they host the Chicago Bears on Sunday, according to one report.

Sources told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Elliott would likely miss this weekend’s game with an MCL sprain in his right knee and a thigh bruise after absorbing a massive hit by Lions safety Kerby Joseph in the second quarter of last Sunday’s game.

"When I saw the play, I thought it was a little ugly," Prescott said after the game. "He said he'd be good and wasn't too long before he was jumping a guy."

Elliott rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries in Dallas’ 24-6 victory.

He sat out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday to work on rehab, head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Thursday.

Elliott seemed cautiously optimistic about his availability on Wednesday.

"I don't know right now," he said via the team’s website. "We still have a lot of time before Sunday. But right now, we're just focused on getting me as healthy as I can."

Playing through injury is nothing new for the three-time Pro Bowler. Elliott played through the majority of last season with a torn PCL in his knee. When asked how he was able to power through injuries to continue playing, he pointed to his "mentality."

"I believe my team needs me out there. I think pain is temporary, and I need to be out there with my guys. So, that's the priority. … It's my job to be out there and be available.

"If I can be out there, then why not? I'm not going to take a game off because I don't feel 100%. ... I think that's soft."

The Cowboys will lean on third-year running back Tony Pollard if Elliott is unavailable for Sunday’s game against the Bears.

President Joe Biden has welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog to the White House.

On Wednesday, Biden and Herzog met to talk about the long-standing bond between both nations. The two leaders addressed threats from Iran and talked about peace throughout the Middle East.

Biden praised Israel and Lebanon for reaching a historic breakthrough by striking a deal on a permanent maritime border. The president also affirmed that the United States has a “ironclad commitment” to Israel and shares many principles and values with the Jewish state.

On his part, Herzog touted that the bond between both nations is unbreakable.

“You are a true friend of Israel, Mr. President,” he said. “And the United States is our closest, strongest historical ally and I’m very proud to come here as the Head of State of the state of Israel to express my feelings of friendship and bonding and the unbreakable bond between our nations.”

Herzog went on to call out Iran for cracking down on protesters demonstrating for more liberties in the wake of Mahsa Amini’s death.
