Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott filed an official incident report, alleging that he was harassed by his ex-girlfriend on Sept. 5, 2016, documents obtained by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport revealed.

Elliott was suspended six games for a violation of the league's personal conduct policy and will file his appeal either Tuesday or Wednesday, Rapoport reports.

The running back stated that he received over 50 phone calls from his ex-girlfriend over an eight-hour span, and police were sent to his house as a result.

Elliott was accused of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend, which led to his suspension, despite never being charged.

After being suspended, Elliott is now attempting to prove that the NFL did not account for his ex-girlfriend's alleged lack of credibility.

Elliott's father, Stacy, tweeted Monday that his son's legal team is "ready to fight."
