Elliott granted restraining order to block ban

The NFLPA's request for a temporary restraining order to block the suspension of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has been granted by the Eastern District of Texas.

NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson had upheld the six-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The NFLPA's filing called for the court to vacate any suspension of Elliott, accusing the league's appeals process of being "fundamentally unfair" and citing new facts revealed during this week's hearing that wrapped up Thursday.

Elliott can now potentially be allowed to play while the case works its way through the courts.
