At the start of training camp, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear where his team stands in regards to the new national anthem policy voicing that the players and coaches will be out on the field standing.

Since then, several players have come out with the same sentiment as quarterback Dak Prescott backed Jones with that belief regarding the situation. According to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott has also come out in support of the decision by calling one that was made by the entire team.

“Us as a team, we chose to stand together for the national anthem,” Elliott said. “It was our decision. I think it just shows our culture. It shows that we have unity. We’re going to stand as one. That’s not knocking anyone else who may choose to kneel during the national anthem. But we’re the Dallas Football Cowboys, America’s Team. We stand for the national anthem.”

This strong statement made by Elliott further sets the tone for the team with the firm notion that the entire team supports the stance that Jones has taken. The fact that now both Elliott and Prescott have each voiced a similar opinion on the matter makes it quite clear that the Cowboys will be out there during the national anthem.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Jones has set that standard for his team given his outspokenness as one of the most vocal owners in the NFL. There appears to be complete unity behind him that shouldn't see any of his players or coaches act otherwise from what he desires his team to do during the national anthem.

With the Cowboys getting out in front of the topic with a uniform response, it should see them act accordingly in the upcoming season.
