The NFL filed a pair of motions late Monday against suspended Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and his federal lawsuit against the league.
One filing argued that Elliott does not have legal standing to challenge his six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy in federal court.
The league also filed a motion to dismiss Elliott’s pursuit of a preliminary injunction to block the suspension in advance of court hearing on the matter, set for 5 p.m. Tuesday in Sherman, Texas.
That NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson has yet to rule on Elliott’s appeal of the six-game suspension is a key aspect to the filings against the star running back and the NFL Players Association.
