Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones refused to speak about Ezekiel Elliott, after the running back was issued a six-game suspension on Friday for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Elliott was investigated by the league for domestic violence allegations made by his ex-girlfriend. Although the running back was not arrested or charged, the league found sufficient evidence to issue a suspension.

Elliott officially submitted his appeal to the suspension Wednesday in conjunction with the NFLPA.

Jones, who unreservedly supported Elliott throughout the league's investigation, did not issue further comment when asked about the running back.

"I don't have anything to say about any of the appeal or anything about that issue today. But certainly I'll be visiting with you guys about it in the future. But right now, today is just not the time for me to talk about it," Jones said via NFL Network's James Palmer.

Jones was asked if he's spoken to Elliott after the suspension and once again remained elusive.

"Again, I'm not going to visit about that and I don't want to do you anyway here and I'm just going to comment on this thing when I have all our thoughts and plans in place," Jones said.
