Five days until the Cowboys are back on the field, let’s check the latest headlines.
NFLPA files for restraining order to again block Ezekiel Elliott suspension – ESPN.com
The NFL Players Association has filed a request for a temporary restraining order on behalf of Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, seeking to put his six-game suspension on hold again, a source told ESPN’s Josina Anderson.
The request will be argued Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, according to the source.
A federal appeals court last Thursday lifted an injunction that blocked Elliott’s six-game suspension, clearing the way for the NFL’s punishment over domestic violence allegations.
The bottom-line here is Elliott currently cannot participate in team activities and, barring a change, will not play Sunday against San Francisco. Expect a hearing on the temporary restraining order Tuesday and my guess is Elliott will win. Labor legal guy Daniel Wallach, whose covered the case exstensively, believes the judge will give the NFL a chance to respond in a Wednesday hearing:
I would expect Judge Failla to give NFL time to respond to NFLPA TRO motion. Hearing on Wed. still leaves enough time to rule before Sunday.
