Adam Schefter reports that Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott officially has appealed his six-game suspension and a hearing will be scheduled within the next 10 days.
The NFL officially handed down the six-game ban last week, but it’s been pretty clear that Elliott was going to fight this in the court system, so this shouldn’t come as a big surprise.
Elliott is accused of five incidents of domestic violence that took place over over the course of a six-day period in July 2016.
If Elliott serves the full six-game suspension, he would miss games against Giants, Broncos, Cardinals, Rams, Packers and 49ers.
