Connor McGovern has pectoral strain that clouds his roster status

Ezekiel Elliott explained to 'Maxim' why he believes he and other top running backs have helped improved the value of the position and why he wants to be a Cowboy for life.

The Cowboys have a decision to make on rookie Connor McGovern.

He has not played in the preseason and practiced only twice in training camp.

McGovern partially tore a pectoral muscle in the offseason program. Now, he has a smaller strain of his pectoral muscle separate from the partial tear, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports.

The third-round choice does not need surgery, but his return is unknown.

The Cowboys list him as the third-string left guard.

Dallas could choose to place McGovern on season-ending injured reserve Saturday. Or they could carry him on the 53-player roster for a day before placing him on injured reserve, giving him a chance to return this season.
