The National Football League has taken its case against Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott to the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
The NFL filed a motion on Friday morning for an emergency stay of the injunction that is keeping Elliott eligible to play until the lawsuit is resolved. Elliott was suspended for six games without pay on Aug. 11 by the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
The two sides have been battling in court with a series of motions.
U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant granted Elliott a temporary injunction.
