NEW YORK (Cheap NFL Jerseys) — Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott was granted another legal reprieve Tuesday night in the running back's fight to avoid a six-game suspension over domestic violence allegations.

A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking the league's suspension, clearing Elliott to play Sunday at San Francisco.

U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty's ruling comes five days after a federal appeals court overturned a Texas court's injunction that had kept Elliott on the field.

Crotty granted the request Jerseys NFL Wholesale,for a temporary restraining order pending a hearing before the presiding judge, Katherine Polk Failla, who is on vacation. He ordered the league to appear before Failla by Oct. 30 to argue why the suspension should not be blocked until courts in New York and Texas can rule on challenges the players' union brought against the suspension.

Elliott, last year's NFL rushing leader as a rookie, was barred from the team's facility Tuesday as players returned from their off week. The NFL placed him on the suspended list Friday, a day after the ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

The league didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Elliott was suspended in August by Commissioner Roger Goodell after the league concluded a yearlong investigation that he had several physical confrontations in the summer of 2016 with Tiffany Thompson,Wholesale Jerseys, his girlfriend at the time.

Prosecutors in Columbus, Ohio, decided not to pursue the case in the city where Elliott starred for Ohio State, citing conflicting evidence, but the NFL did its own investigation.

During a hearing earlier Tuesday, Crotty said he was inclined to defer to Failla because she was more familiar with the case.

Attorney Daniel Nash, arguing for the NFL, accused Elliott's legal team of seeking relief from courts in Texas to evade courts in New York and the effect of the April 2016 ruling that reinstated a four-game suspension of New England quarterback Tom Brady in the "Deflategate" scandal.

Attorney Jeffrey Kessler, Cheap Jerseys Online,representing the players' union, asked Crotty to prevent enforcement of the suspension for two weeks so that Failla can return from a vacation and rule.

Nash warned Crotty that allowing the union to continue to delay the suspension would invite "every player who's suspended" to go to court for relief.

"They know under the Brady decision they have no chance of success. None," Nash said.

Kessler said the harm to a player's short career was serious when a suspension is served.

"He can never get that back," Kessler said,Jerseys From China, arguing that the irreparable harm — among issues of law considered before a temporary restraining order is granted — faced by a player is much greater than harm claimed by the league when a suspension is delayed.

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.
