Ezekiel Elliott will play against Redskins; judge rejects NFL request

[TexasTowelie]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, coming off his best game of the season in the 40-10 victory against the San Francisco 49ers, will be on the field for Sunday’s game at the Washington Redskins.

Federal Judge Katherine Failla of the Southern District of New York rejected the NFL’s request for an expedited hearing this week before the Redskins game.

She has notified the NFL and Elliott’s lawyers from the NFL Players Association that the preliminary injunction hearing is set for Oct. 30 at 5 p.m., a day after the game.

Elliott, who is fighting a six-game NFL suspension for allegedly assaulting former girlfriend Tiffany Thompson, is playing now thanks to a 14-day temporary restraining order granted Tuesday by Judge Paul Crotty, who was sitting in for a vacationing Failla.
