As the back and forth over Ezekiel Elliott’s six-game suspension continues, the running back has secured another win in the legal battle. Back in August, Elliott was suspended for six games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy in connection to allegations of domestic violence. The baller appealed the suspension, but was denied. However, he was granted a preliminary injunction, which allowed Elliott to participate in the first five games of the season.
Last week, Elliott’s injunction was vacated, which prompted the star running back to file a request for an additional temporary restraining order. The TRO was granted on Tuesday, which then forced the NFL to request an expedited hearing on the injunction. However, a judge has denied the NFL’s motion, which will allow Elliott to play an additional week before his hearing on the injunction of his suspension.
If Elliott’s suspension is upheld, the running back will miss six games, including conference matchups against the Eagles, Redskins and Giants. However, if the judge allows Elliott to receive a preliminary injunction, he will be able to play after Oct. 30.
