Ezekiel Elliott's Suspension Back On

November 9, 2017

Ezekiel Elliott's on-again, off-again suspension is back on.  A panel of federal judges in New York denied the Cowboys running back's request for an emergency injunction , saying he didn't meet the requisite standard.  

That means Elliott won't play Sunday against Atlanta. The panel also ruled Elliott's appeal shall be heard on an expedited basis.  

Elliott, the NFLPA, and the NFL have been battling it out in court all season.  Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Elliott in August for six games over domestic violence allegations.  Those allegations did not result in charges.
