Roger Goodell has appointed Harold Henderson to hear Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott’s Aug. 29 appeal of his six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the NFL announced Wednesday. NFL media first reported Henderson will hear the case.
Henderson previously heard the appeal of former Panthers and Cowboys DE Greg Hardy, reducing Hardy’s suspension for a personal conduct violation from 10 to four games and citing "too much of an increase over prior cases without notice," as NFL Media's Judy Bautista pointed out.
