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

Aaron Donald to start for Rams vs. Redskins on Sunday

How long does it take a star defensive player to work his way back into the starting lineup after an offseason holdout? About a week, apparently. Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Aaron Donald would get the start on Sunday against the Redskins, six days after he reported to the club. Donald, 26, has made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons and attempted to force Los Angeles' hand this offseason into getting him a lucrative contract extension. The writing was on the wall this week in Los Angeles. Even defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who spent the offseason sans Donald changing the team's 4-3 defense to a 3-4, said it wasn't going to be difficult integrating arguably the best interior pass rusher in football. Getting Donald one-on-one usually seals the deal. So it goes for McVay, who had to weather a high profile holdout during his first few months as the NFL's youngest head coach in history. Now, he's decided to simply le...
