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

Packers stuff Seahawks in low-scoring affair

1. Cue those who like to refer back to deep reads on the Seattle Seahawks that hint at some unease between the team's sputtering offense and dominant defense. A game where Aaron Rodgers is sacked four times, picked once and thoroughly flustered on a few occasions in the first half should not end in a loss. We're so used to watching the magician quarterback wheel himself out of the pocket, survey the field and flick the ball on a rope to one of his receivers. That ended up happening, but not without relentless pressure from Seattle's front seven and some excellent mixed coverages. Both teams are battling some porous spots on their offensive line, which also negated some of the positives the Seahawks were generating, but the weight on Pete Carroll's defense seems to grow with each week. Russell Wilson finished with 158 passing yards and took three sacks for a loss of 23 yards. The team rushed for 90 total yards. 2. Seattle's running back usage was anything but pred...
