Elliott abruptly ends interview following questions over 6-game suspension
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott practiced Wednesday for the first time since serving his six-game suspension but cut the interview portion short after being asked to share details of his absence.
"I'm not really going to talk about it," Elliott told reporters. "It's behind me. I'm just trying to start a new page, a new chapter. I'm going to thank this Cowboys organization for being behind me. Thank my family, my team, and my friends for just supporting me through that time and especially the Cowboys fans who have stuck by me through this tough time and haven't lost faith in me ...
"But I'm not talking about it anymore. This is going to be the last time you hear me speak about it, so please don't even ask me about it," Elliott said.

After admitting he's excited to be back with his teammates, a reporter asked Elliott if he would talk about what he did during his six games away from the team - a question to which he replied: "No."
Reporters persisted, however, leading Elliott to reiterate that his focus was on Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. One question later, the second-year back abruptly ended the interview, telling the media he was done.
Elliott's suspension stemmed from accusations of multiple incidents of domestic assault involving his now ex-girlfriend. The 22-year-old is expected to start for the Cowboys on Sunday.
