The NFL will not announce a suspension for Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott this week, according to Tom Pelissero of USA Today (Twitter link), who reports the league is still waiting for the four external advisors who attended Elliott’s meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell to complete their work.
A league announcement on Elliott’s suspension has been expected for some time, but the timeline of the implementation has been continually pushed back. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has repeatedly stated that he expects a decision on Elliott to be handed down soon, but no news was disseminated over the weekend, and now Dallas must wait until next week (at least) until it learns whether it will be without its star running back.
The NFL is reportedly wrapping up its investigation into Elliott, but Jones stood behind Elliott when addressing the media earlier this month. “I have reviewed everything and there is absolutely nothing – not one thing – that had anything to do with domestic violence,” Jones said. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com recently reported a “growing sense” that Elliott will face a league-imposed suspension. Elliott was never arrested or charged in the incident, but his accuser addressed her allegations in a statement last week.
