Ezekiel Elliott suspension reinstated

The federal fifth court of appeals has ruled against Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott.

BREAKING: Federal appeals court clears way for NFL's 6-game suspension of Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott in domestic case

— AP NFL (@AP_NFL) October 12, 2017

The ruling from the fifth circuit court of appeals has vacated the lower court’s preliminary injunction against the NFL’s suspension, effectively putting the six-game suspension back on.

Complicating matters slightly is that the Cowboys have a bye week this week, giving Elliott’s time to re-start the process and file for a new injunction or an opportunity to fight the suspension with the League office in New York.
