The judge found the NFLPA failed to show a substantial question that warranted the extraordinary remedy of injunctive relief, and that Elliott had enough opportunity to challenge the league's ruling in arbitration hearings, according to The Dallas Morning News' Kate Hairopoulos.
Elliott has 24 hours before the suspension takes its full form, allowing him the option to appeal to the second circuit court, which could potentially come back to the fifth circuit court, according to Jane Slater of NFL Network.
As it stands, Elliott will miss the next six games, but will be eligible to return Week 15 against the Oakland Raiders and play the final three weeks of the season.
Elliott has produced 690 rushing yards and 210 yards receiving with eight total touchdowns this season through seven games. Alfred Morris is expected to replace him in the starting lineup.
