Appeals Court Hears Arguments In Elliott Suspension Case

Ezekiel Elliott

The fate of embattled Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is closer to being decided.  The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments today from the NFL and the Players Association on a stay in Elliott's suspension case.  The league is expected to file a response brief by Tuesday morning and the court said it will rule quickly once that brief has been filed.  The NFL is seeking a stay of the injunction that is allowing the suspended Elliott to keep playing while the legal process plays out.  The reigning NFL rushing champ has run for 277 yards and two touchdowns in four games this season.
