Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott admitted to being a little "shellshocked" with the pace and intensity of practices during the first week of OTAs - his first time working among the veterans.

But as the No. 4 draft pick finds his footing - he said he felt a little more prepared by Wednesday's Day 2, working alongside veterans Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris - he has already made his first big purchase as a pro. His mother, Dawn Elliott, and family are moving into a new house in the St. Louis area, the same region where he grew up.

"It just feels really good to reward my mom," Elliott told SportsDay. "The hard work she put in raising me and all she sacrificed, finally being able to do something for her for the first time feels really good."

Briefly: Kicker Dan Bailey planned to attend Wednesday night's U.S. men's soccer team's friendly match against Ecuador in Frisco. On Tuesday, Bailey visited practice at SMU. He received a jersey from U.S. star Clint Dempsey, a Nacogdoches, Texas native.

"I grew up playing soccer and I've always been a big fan," Bailey said. "I got to go out and watch them train and talk to the guys a little bit, so that was a lot of fun."
