The Cowboys aren’t making any official statement about allegations of domestic violence against rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott.

But that doesn’t mean they’re not skeptical of them.

According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys “don’t believe the allegations against Elliott are true.”

Of course, they can’t say that out loud at the moment, having just spent a year scraping the Greg Hardy off their boots.

But at the moment, there are no criminal charges, and the league has said it will investigate the incident.

Until more facts are known, the Cowboys would be wise to say little regarding their first-round pick, who is expected to play a major role for them this year as long as he’s available.
