Dallas Cowboys’ running back Ezekiel Elliott is likely to be limited in Wednesday’s practice because of injuries to his ankle and knee during Sunday’s win against the Detroit Lions.

Cowboys’ coach Jason Garrett expects Elliott to be available against the Houston Texans Sunday night.

Elliott said he was “beat up” after Sunday’s win. He gained 240 total yards, including a season-high 152 rushing yards in the 26-24 win. Elliott injured his ankle and later suffered from bursitis but returned to the game both times.

Safety Jeff Heath is also likely to be limited after suffering a stinger against the Lions. Linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) won’t practice and won’t play against the Texans, according to Cowboys’ owner and general manager Jerry Jones.
