Elliott was suspended for six games for his involvement in a domestic violence situation in the summer of 2016. After the NFL handed down the suspension, the Cowboys running back decided he would appeal the ruling.
There have been several strange twists in the Elliott case, but there wasn’t enough evidence to overturn the league’s ruling.
