The Ezekiel Elliott holdout continues.

Monday marked the 11th day since the Dallas Cowboys running back did not arrive for preseason training camp. Elliott, who is looking for a new contract, instead is in Cabo, where he is reportedly working out on his own.

While Cowboys owner Jerry Jones continues to say he's not worried about Elliott's holdout and that deals will get done with the running back, quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper, maybe he should be concerned.

Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson was on FOX Sports 1's Undisputed on Monday and said that, after talking to Elliott's agent, it is a possibility that this hold out lasts into the regular season unless a deal is agreed upon.

“It's possible," Dickerson said when asked if he thinks Elliott will miss any regular-season games. "I talked to his agent yesterday, and he said, ‘It’s possible. It really is possible he will miss some games.’ He doesn't want to because, as a football player, you want to play football and Zeke's no different from myself or any other guy that plays football. He wants to be there with his teammates, he wants to play, but this is business. That's what it comes down to. And the sad thing is, as Zeke goes, the Cowboys go. Zeke is the best football player on that football team, let's be honest about that. So if he holds out, let's say he misses four weeks. If he misses four weeks, I guarantee they probably win one of those games, it depends on who they play.”

Since he was taken fourth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, Elliott has been the offensive catalyst for the Cowboys. In the two seasons he played 15 or more games in Dallas, Elliott rushed for 1,434 yards and 1,631 yards respectively, both the most in the NFL for that season. In both of those years, Dallas made the playoffs, losing in the Division Round both times.

While Jones is confident he will get a deal done with Elliott, the Cowboys want to come to terms on new contracts with Prescott and Cooper as well. Both of those players are in the final year of their rookie deals -- Elliott has an option year due to being a first-round pick -- and so they likely take precedence.

Elliott is far from the only player to holdout this offseason. Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney did not report to camp but announced he plans to arrive after the third preseason game. Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon was also a no-show and has since requested a trade. Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue initially did not report but ended his holdout without a new contract. Offensive tackle Trent Williams is in an ugly battle with the Washington Redskins. Michael Thomas became the richest receiver in NFL history after holding out the first few days of New Orleans Saints training camp.
