Judge reinstates Elliott suspension

A federal judge cleared the way Monday night for the NFL to enforce a sixgame suspension of Cowboys running back

over domestic allegations. U.S. District Judge

denied the request for a preliminary injunction from players’ union attorneys working for Elliott. Failla put the ruling on hold for 24 hours to give Elliott’s legal team time to appeal, a likely move.

It’s the second time a federal ruling has overturned a reprieve that kept Elliott on the field. Earlier this month, a federal appeals court threw out a Texas court’s injunction and ordered the dismissal of Elliott’s lawsuit there.

The NFL briefly enforced Commissioner

suspension before a judge sitting in for Failla in the Southern District of New York issued a temporary restraining order that blocked the punishment for the second time.

If the suspension holds this time, Elliott will be out starting Sunday at home against the Chiefs. He will be eligible to return Dec. 17. violence

Miller’s surgery ‘urgent’: Bears tight end

had urgent vascular surgery Sunday night to repair a torn popliteal artery after he dislocated his knee during a loss to the Saints earlier in the day.

Surgeons from the University Medical Center New Orleans completed successful surgery to stabilize the injury. Miller, 33, remains at the hospital for further evaluation.

Bears coach said one of the concerns that comes with such an injury is that doctors might have needed to amputate Miller’s leg had they not been able to repair the artery. But he said the doctors “feel good about where he is now, as it relates to that.”

ESPN reported that there also was orthopedic damage to the knee.
