Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was involved in a late-night incident at a Dallas bar Sunday, a source tells ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter. The news was first reported by 105.3 FM The Fan in Dallas.

Elliott was not arrested or detained following the altercation, but this is terrible timing for the running back as he faces a potential suspension for accusations of domestic violence. The NFL has been known to levy punishments even when the legal system does not see fit to do so and this bar fight may increase the likelihood of a multi-game suspension.
According to a statement from the Dallas Police, officers were called to a disturbance on Sunday in which a 30-year-old male victim said he was assaulted but he did not know who hit him. The victim was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. No arrests were made and nobody was listed as a suspect, but the investigation is ongoing.
Last week, it was reported that that Elliott could face a one- or two-game suspension from the league. It would make sense for the NFL to levy its punishment sooner rather than later so that Elliott can have time before Week 1 to go through the appeals process, but this latest incident could gum up the works even further.
NFL is cheering. now they can say “we need to suspend him”
Sadly how many times do we here of football players getting into trouble at bars and clubs ? I know he is young and enjoying life which he should be able to , but you gotta know this happens a lot.
What the hell is wrong with you ???
We don’t have enough information on this yet. This article doesn’t say he threw a lunch. For all we know he may have been questioned as a witness but it certainly doesn’t look good. Now I didn’t necessarily follow this advice when I was younger but I always told my kids…”nothing good ever happens after midnight!”
I believe he threw a bag lunch.
You never met someone at a bar & got laid after midnight?
If you’re in NFL superstar you should be able to pluck the finest honey there the moment you walk in whether it’s 8 PM 10 PM or midnight. Mr. superstar shouldn’t be in there trolling for a hoes that late at night
I was asking the gentleman above, “Randy” about his personal exploits after midnight.
He said, “nothing good happens after midnight.”
Well apparently I cannot edit but my auto-correct thought I meant lunch when I typed punch.

Criminal law is different than civil law and both are different then the rules and regulations and terms of employment which happens to be the NFL.
There’s a history of alleged accusations developing here in his short career. Just sayn so let’s hope there’s no fire where the smoke seems to be? If fire then it may spread? I know nothing about this kid but what I’m reading so I’m giving him benefit of doubt unless proven otherwise or future nefarious behavior patterns develop
