The incident in Vegas stemmed from a verbal argument between Elliott and a woman at a music festival. When Johnson tried to intervene, the running back walked up to him and bumped him. Johnson then proceeded to fall over a guard rail.
Elliott met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about the incident and issued a public apology. He did not face any suspension or fines from the league.
