The ruling is in.
Federal judge Amos Mazzant, of the Eastern District of Texas, ruled Friday to grant Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott a preliminary injunction. It prevents the NFL from enforcing its six-game suspension of Elliott.
The decision means Elliott will play beyond Sunday's season opener against the New York Giants, which he was already approved to play.
Mazzant held a hearing Tuesday in Sherman when both sides argued for and against the stay.
