Ezekiel Elliott sues the NFL, claims a 'conspiracy' to 'hide critical information'

did not wait for the ruling to come down from Harold Henderson on his appeal of a six-game suspension for violation of the domestic violence policy. The Cowboys running back has already sued the NFL, according to documents obtained by CBS Sports.

The NFLPA, with lawyer Jeffrey Kessler leading the way, filed a petition on behalf of Elliott asking the Eastern District Court of Texas to overturn any forthcoming suspension ruling from Henderson. Elliott was initially suspended six games on Aug. 11; his appeal hearing began this week and ran for three days. A ruling is expected either Friday or Monday at the latest.
