Ezekiel Elliott Case

After the abuse allegations on his girlfriend in 2017, the NFL sought to suspend Elliott for six games. In an attempt to get the Cowboys running back on the field again, Elliott and the NFL Players Association filed a motion for an emergency injunction with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

This was after Federal Judge Katherine Polk Failla, of the Southern District of New York, denied Elliott a preliminary injunction that would have continued to block the NFL from enforcing its six-game suspension of Elliott. An injunction would keep him from missing games while the Court hears the union’s appeal.

However, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also denied Elliott and the NFL Players Association their emergency injunction request. This meant that Elliott’s six-game suspension was back on and he was ineligible to play.
