NFL seeks to restore Elliott ban

The NFL moved quickly Monday in hopes of reversing a federal judge’s decision that has blocked the league’s sixgame suspension of Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott over a domestic-violence case in Ohio.

The league asked the judge who ruled in Elliott’s favor to stop the preliminary injunction that cleared last year’s NFL rushing leader to play while the case is in court. A notice of appeal was also filed with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

The NFL’s latest filings came about 12 hours after Elliott rushed for 104 yards in the Cowboys’ 19-3 season-opening home win over the New York Giants on Sunday night.

Elliott, 22, was suspended by Commissioner Roger Goodell last month, and attorneys with the NFL Players Association contended in a lawsuit that Elliott didn’t get a fair hearing in an appeal that was denied.
