UPDATE: Elliott has indeed been suspended for six games.
We’re inching closer to a ruling on Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott. When the verdict comes in, the Cowboys might not be very happy with the outcome. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter) notes that under the terms of NFL personal conduct policy, Elliott could be facing potential six-game suspension for allegations of physical violence.

Several national NFL reporters noted the possibility of a six-game ban on Friday morning and that could indicate a much lengthier suspension than initially anticipated. This could also be an effort by the league office to brace fans for a middle-of-the-road outcome in which Elliott gets, say, a three-game suspension. We won’t know anything for sure until official word comes from 345 Park Avenue, but the Friday morning rumblings are not promising for the Cowboys.
Needless to say, a suspension of any length would put the Cowboys’ offense at a severe disadvantage. Elliott, 22, ran for a league-leading 1,631 yards off of 322 carries last year with 15 touchdowns. He supplemented that incredible stat line with 32 catches for 363 yards and one score.
So under this logic Joe Mixon should be suspended for 3 seasons?
There were never any charges filed!!!
I agree, and I hate the Cowboys.
“Elliott could be facing potential six-game suspension for allegations of physical violence.”
They are punishing players just for ALLEGATIONS? That’s just wrong.
They have been for years. See Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, etc…
Whew, worried until I saw Adam schefter reporting. Hey Adam where is that video of fez bryant hitting his mom you said you had and were going to show the world??
Dez. iPhone be damned
Now that the joke that is rodger goodell has alienated the two most powerful owners in the sport. Should be gone within the next year.
I How are you defining most powerful owners? You mean the 2 guys with the loudest mouths? Paul Allen would be the most powerful one since he is the richest owner by a pretty wide margin.
How in the world can this IDIOT Goodell find something that the Police couldn’t. it’s a setup this MORRON hates the Boys and it shows. Goodell needs to GO!!
This is ridiculous he should have no suspension whatsoever coming from a Redskin fan.
The players association needs to file a grievence for sure. players should form an alliance and pergorm a work stoppage till hitler is fired
They can’t just have a random work stoppage. They have a CBA. If they decided not to work not only would they forfeit their paychecks they open themselves to litigation from the owners. The fact of the matter is the Players’ Union will file a grievance but this is a drop in the bucket to the big picture.
It’s a fact that he was in a marijuana selling place and he lifted a girl’s shirt up in public. Neither looks good for him and the league. Sorry, but can’t shed a tear for him.
