The fifth circuit court of appeals in New Orleans on Thursday lifted an injunction blocking Elliott's six-game suspension, handed down by the league in August for a personal conduct violation. The court ruled 2-1 in favor of the NFL, saying the NFLPA acted too quickly when in its filing, which occurred before NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson had a chance to hear Elliott's appeal.
Further, the court ruled that U.S. District Court Judge Amos Mazzant, who granted Elliott a temporary injunction in Texas last month, lacked jurisdiction in his finding.
