Ezekiel Elliott Suspended Until Week 16 (1 Viewer)

He's suspended. The Fifth Circuit vacated the injunction granted in East Texas. For now, Yahoo! lists him as suspended.

From a strictly W-L perspective, the Cowboys would have been better off if Zeke had served his suspension the first six games.  I'd argue they'd be better off from a distraction perspective as well.

 
Appeal filed for case to be heard en banc by the NFLPA. That means the entire Fifth Circuit Court will hear the case instead of the 2-1 ruling handed down.

About a 0% chance the en banc hearing is granted.   I expect he will re-file his original case but if he has to file in NY and  not Texas he will lose.  Sometime this season or next he will serve the suspension.

Thanks. 

Are you a lawyer?  I ask that without sarcasm or jerkiness. Because a lot of would-be guys have determined his year, and they've all been wrong.

FWIW - NFLN reported last night there were 200+ similar requests filed in 2016... 6 were granted. So maybe his odds are closer to 3% (than 0%).

Good info, thanks.  

I've been to law school and taken the bar and passed in NY, and I have no idea. That's why the legal experts are so important to me. They know their stuff, generally.  

I'd imagine that stays and injunctions are different than your average en banc hearing, is my presumption. Your mileage may vary.  

I'd still bid on Morris if he's available in your league.

The news is big enough in the FF world to do so?  

Plus, the normal thread is, as wilked pointed out, basically an AC forum.  

Plus, the news was breaking as I typed it out. 

Why must we question everything?

Nice post.

Until D-Mac winds up with the inevitable soft tissue injury that he seems to pick up frequently. 

But this is the lawyer Elliott thread!   :P

 
Yeah, he wasn't suspended during his bye week. There should be no confusion. Yahoo! projects him back in Wk 16.
