Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is appealing his six-game suspension for alleged domestic violence, but his defense team reportedly thinks the odds are stacked against him in this fight.
According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, Elliott's representatives believe the decision to name former league executive Harold Henderson as the arbiter of the case will swing the case in the NFL's favor. Robinson also reported Henderson has already ruled against the defense team in a couple of key areas prior to the hearing.
However, Elliott and company are already planning to take the matter to federal court as Tom Brady did with Deflategate, according to Robinson.
