Ezekiel Elliott fumbled twice in his second NFL game. He has never fumbled twice in a game before Sunday's 27-23 win over Washington.

It's understandable that fans are concerned.

But Jerry Jones is not.

"He fundamentally carries the ball really sound," the Cowboys owner and GM said Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan's Shan and RJ show [KRLD-FM]. "He carries it. He carries it up against him. We won't get into all of that detail, but if you asked the question: Is he very sound in the way he holds the football? He is."

Elliott, who finished with 83 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries Sunday, lost a fumble late in the third quarter. He then fumbled again midway through the fourth. He never carried the ball again.

Alfred Morris handled Dallas' final three handoffs.

Will those fumbles affect Elliott's workload or playing time going forward?

"No. They will not, at all," Jones responded. "He's a big man and he carries it properly. He does a good job of finishing, which means he's trying to give the tacklers more than he's getting in terms of how you absorb hits. All of that makes him a sound ball carrier fumbling wise."
