Report: Ezekiel Elliott Will Not Face Charges From Vegas Police in Alleged Assault Case

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not face charges from the Las Vegas police after a May altercation with a security guard, one of Elliott's attorneys and agents, Frank Salzano, told ESPN.

Elliott was briefly detained by police after Kyle Johnson, a security guard at a music festival, was knocked to the ground. Johnson originally declined to press charges but later filed a criminal complaint. Attorneys for the Elliott released a statement in July, saying they believed Elliott was the "target of extortion."

Elliott was not disciplined for the incident after meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on July 2.
