FRISCO, Texas -- For a second time this season, Ezekiel Elliott has been granted a temporary restraining order in court, staving off his six-game NFL suspension and allowing him to continue playing while the issue is resolved.
The restraining order was granted by the Second District Federal Court on Tuesday evening, and it will allow Elliott to return to the roster for the next two weeks. The All-Pro running back had been suspended late last week when the Fifth Circuit Court overruled the injunction he was granted earlier this season.
Unlike that previous injunction, however, this week’s ruling is good for approximately two weeks -- or until Judge Katherine Polk Failla makes a ruling on the current matter.
