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
