NFLPA: Ezekiel Elliott Playing During Legal Battle Won't Irreparably Harm NFL

The NFL Players Association made a legal filing to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday in response to the NFL's request to have a preliminary injunction of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott's suspension overturned.

According to ESPN.com, the NFLPA contended the NFL will experience no irreparable harm if Elliott is allowed to continue playing during the appeals process surrounding his six-game ban.

The NFL suspended Elliott for six games after a league investigation concluded there was evidence that Elliott physically harmed ex-girlfriend Tiffany Thompson last year.
