Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott suspension case timeline

A U.S. District Court judge granted the NFL Players Association's preliminary injunction request on the behalf of Ezekiel Elliott on Friday, meaning the Dallas Cowboys running back's suspension is on hold -- for now.


Judge Amos Mazzant III's decision allows Elliott to play as the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas reviews the NFLPA's petition to void his six-game suspension. There's no timeline for Mazzant III to make a decision on whether to allow the petition to move forward to trial, according to Gabe Feldman, director of the Tulane Sports Law Program. However, there's a strong chance Elliott will now be allowed to play the entire 2017 season as the case makes it way through the court.

Here is a timeline of the entire process:


July 22, 2016: Accused of abuse on five separate occasions from July 17–22


August 25, 2016: Video surfaces of Elliott in legal marijuana dispensary in Seattle before preseason game


September 6, 2016: Prosecutors announce Elliott would not be charged with domestic violence


October 2016: NFL investigators interview Elliott


March 13, 2017: Video surfaces of Elliott pulling down a woman's shirt at St. Patrick's Day parade


June 1, 2017: Phone records and other documents turned over to NFL investigators


July 16, 2017: Allegedly involved in alteration at Dallas restaurant (not arrested)


July 17, 2017: Appeals misdemeanor conviction for speeding stemming from citation in April (100 mph in 70 mph zone)


August 11, 2017: Elliott suspended six games by NFL for violation of personal conduct policy


August 15, 2017: Elliott appeals his suspension


August 29-31, 2017: Harold Henderson hears Elliot's appeal hearing


September 1, 2017: NFLPA files temporary restraining order in Texas to block any suspension upheld by Henderson


September 5, 2017: NFL files motion to dismiss NFLPA/Elliot lawsuit


September 5, 2017: Harold Henderson upholds NFL's 6-game suspension of Elliott


September 5, 2017: NFL allows Elliott to play in Week 1 due to timing of appeal decision


September 8, 2017: Eastern District of Texas Sherman Division Judge Amos Mazzant grants preliminary injunction against 6-games suspension, citing Elliott did not receive a fundamentally fair hearing before the arbitrator, also granting Elliott's petition for a temporary restraining order

Cardinals RB David Johnson to undergo wrist surgery

The second opinion is in, and it's bad news for the Arizona Cardinals. Running back David Johnson will undergo wrist surgery this week and is expected to be out 2-3 months, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday, according to a source informed of the decision. ESPN first reported the news. The 25-year-old got a second opinion on his wrist injury on Monday, which backed up the original diagnosis, as the team feared. The team announced on Tuesday that they placed Johnson on injured reserve. He could come off IR after missing at least eight weeks if rehab goes as planned. Johnson injured his wrist on a reception in the Cardinals' 35-23 loss to the Detroit Lions. Losing the dual-threat back is a major blow to an Arizona offense that struggled in the season opener.
