Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones says a video that appears to show rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott at a Seattle marijuana dispensary is "not good."
The video — posted on TMZ.com and calling Elliott a "marijuana tourist" — purports to be of him at Herban Legends only hours before he made his NFL preseason debut Thursday, though it doesn't show him making any purchases.

"Well, I think that in and of itself the reason we are talking about is in a way part of the learning process," Jones said late Thursday night (via ESPN.com), after the Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Seahawks. "But it's not good. It's just not good. It's just not good."
Although the sale for recreational use of marijuana is legal in Washington, it is a banned substance under the NFL's drug-testing program.
Elliott, who has been hampered by a hamstring injury, had seven carries for 48 yards in his first NFL game action, drawing rave reviews.

The reviews of TMZ's video? Not so rave.
"Again that's a part of just really getting the big picture here," Jones said. "No matter if you played at whatever level, there is a picture here of interest. So again, I'm aware of it. I heard the report. I would know how he is, and he needs to look at that. And the other thing is it's just not good."
