The latest ruling in the Ezekiel Elliott saga will put his six-game suspension into motion starting with this Sunday’s game against the Falcons. He still has options to fight the ban, but it will take a while before he can realistically get another legal intervention. Elliott’s expedited appeal in front of the Second Circuit court is scheduled for December 1st, as Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets.
The Cowboys have four games between now and 12/1, so Elliott will almost certainly miss games against the Falcons, Eagles, Chargers, and Redskins. After that, Elliott will have to assess whether to fight the league on the remaining two games. In theory, it seems possible that Elliott could stave off the final two games of his scheduled suspension only to have the ban reinstated in the postseason (assuming the Cowboys qualify).
The Cowboys are 5-3 heading into Sunday’s game with Atlanta. They have serious ground to make up in order to catch the 8-1 Eagles for the NFC East crown and they’ll have to do it without their best offensive weapon – at least for the next month.
On Saturday it will be “BREAKING Zeke allowed to play after restraining order granted”
I wouldn’t doubt it lol I’m so sick of this case
Jesu freakin cristo
The fans should sue both Elliot and the NFL for wasting everybody’s time.
Ha ha I agree
In Federal Court!
Ha! It will take 7 appeals to settle the suit!
No, it won’t take 7 appeals.
Actually, it will take 7 appeals.
Wait, they just issued an injunction and I’m unable to tell you at this time how many appeals it will take.
Okay, now that judge called back and said that we can estimate it will take between 4 and 9 appeals.
I’m not even a cowboys fan, but F Roger Goodell. Dude was in college when he was accused and law enforcement refused to pursue charges. Let it go bro, we get it you messed up with Ray Rice.
Yes, and he’s been an absolute choir boy since…LOL
How far should the NFL’s reach go? How much history that they didn’t employ him during should they be allowed to punish a player for?
