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

Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys

The San Francisco 49ers brought in Jimmy Garoppolo this week, and despite some viewing it as a chance to get a six- or seven-game tryout for the QB before paying him with either a lucrative long-term deal or an even more lucrative franchise tag, the Niners' brass made it fairly clear Tuesday they view the former New England Patriot as a franchise QB. One of the biggest reasons why? Per John Lynch,  Jerseys NFL Wholesale , coughing up a high second-rounder for a tryout is not something he'd do. "Honest to God, we need to get him in the playbook, that's where we're going to start, first things first. But I can tell you, second-round picks are very valuable in this league," the 49ers general manager said, "particularly where we are at as an organization, and so this is a guy you want and were willing to give what we thought was a very valuable commodity in exchange for him. So we're excited moving forward that he's going to be a part of our futu...

Wholesale Jerseys From China

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The whirlwind past 10 days for Duane Brown finally ended with the standout left tackle calling a new city home. It wasn't a straightforward path for Brown from ending his holdout with Houston to arriving in Seattle as the  China Jerseys Wholesale , newest member of the Seahawks. But somehow it ended up working very much in Brown's favor. "It's worked out pretty good for me, I've got to say," Brown said on Wednesday. "I thought I did some great things in my career.
