FRISCO, Texas (AP) _ Ezekiel Elliott skipped his weekly media session because
of more legal limbo in the star Dallas Cowboys running back’s fight over the
NFL’s six-game suspension on alleged domestic violence.
The difference this week is that Elliott, the NFL’s second-leading rusher, was
with his teammates. That wasn’t the case early last week when the 22-year-old
was suspended until Friday after a judge rejected his request for a second
injunction.
The third legal reprieve came in an emergency two days before the Cowboys beat
the Kansas City Chiefs. Now Elliott seeks a longer-lasting injunction from a
three-judge panel that will hear his case Thursday in New York.
Dallas (5-3), on a three-game winning streak with significant contributions
from Elliott, visits defending NFC champion Atlanta (4-4) on Sunday.
