Elliott granted temporary restraining order, eligible to play Sunday
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was granted a temporary restraining order from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, vacating his six-game suspension.
As a result, Elliott is eligible to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Prior to the Southern District of New York's ruling, Judge Amos L. Mazzant of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas dismissed the NFLPA's case on behalf of Elliott citing a lack of jurisdiction, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
