Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott says he is relieved that the courts gave him a temporary restraining order over the league-imposed six-game suspension that allowed him to play in the team's season opener.
The Cowboys beat the New York Giants 19–3 as Elliott had 24 carries for 104 yards and added five catches for 36 yards, days after winning an injunction and temporary blocking a six-game ban for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
Judge Amos Mazzant said that the appeal process was not fair to Elliott.
"Just relieved for the fact that I finally get a fair trial," Elliott said.
