ESPN writes that Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was not pleased to see a video on TMZ that appeared to show Ezekiel Elliott at a Seattle marijuana dispensary hours before the rookie running back was set to make his preseason debut.

"Well, I think that in and of itself the reason we are talking about is in a way part of the learning process," owner Jerry Jones told the Star-Telegram after the team lost to the Seahawks. "But it's not good. It's just not good. It's just not good."

Despite legal recreational use in Washington state, marijuana remains a banned substance in the NFL.

Players who test positive could be suspended.

The TMZ post labels Elliott as a “marijuana tourist” but provides no evidence that he actually bought any pot.

During the Cowboys-Seahawks game, Elliott rushed for 48 yards on seven carries, including a 13-yard run where he knocked Seattle safety Kam Chancellor backward.

The Seahawks beat the Cowboys 27-17.

According to ESPN, Elliott is under investigation by the Columbus, Ohio, district attorney's office for an alleged domestic violence incident involving a former girlfriend.
