NFLPA files appeal in Ezekiel Elliott case after injunction requests denied

The NFL Players Association has filed an appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott as he continues to fight his six-game suspension from the NFL over domestic violence allegations.

Judge Katherine Polk Failla on Monday night had denied the NFLPA's request for a preliminary injunction after hearing arguments from the NFL and NFLPA. Failla, ruling in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, had stayed the decision for 24 hours, allowing Elliott's side one day to consider appealing, which it did Tuesday.
