Week 10 of the NFL season got off to a rough start with the Seattle Seahawks suffering numerous injuries in a 22-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football, including losing All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman for the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles. This has also been a week of surprising releases this week with the Green Bay Packers parting ways with Martellus Bennett (who has since been picked up the New England Patriots) and the Indianapolis Colts cutting Vontae Davis.
As this weekend's games approach, Here are all the latest news & rumors you need to know:
Ezekiel Elliott willing to serve four games of six-game suspension?
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will begin serving his six-game domestic violence suspension this weekend but is still fighting it in court in order to clear his name. However, with the next hearing not set until Dec. 1, it appears as though Elliott is willing to miss at least four games, according to ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio.
In theory, the lawyers representing Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott could have tried to pull one last rabbit out of the hat, in an effort to help Elliott get back to the field as quickly as possible while the litigation regarding his six-game suspension continues. By all appearances, Elliott will be accepting the suspension, at least through the next hearing in his case, which is set for December 1.
It means that Elliott will miss at least the next four games, since the Cowboys play not on Sunday, December 3 but on Thursday, November 30. It will mean something far more important, if Elliott eventually wins his case.
Dallas has a plan for using both backups Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden in the backfield without Elliott, who has rushed for 783 yards and seven touchdowns on 191 carries so far this season while also catching 19 passes for 210 yards and two more scores.
