Ezekiel Elliott's fate has yet to be decided by the NFL, but in the meantime, the Dallas Cowboys running back may be able to see the field for his team's Week 1 matchup with the New York Giants.

Mike Fisher of CowboysHQ.com reported the NFL told Federal Judge Amos Mazzant that regardless of the decision in Elliott's appeal of his six-game suspension, he'll be eligible to play Sunday.

Harold Henderson is overseeing the appeal of Elliott's suspension. The NFL Players Association indicated Henderson planned to make a final decision by the close of Tuesday's business day, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
