Although Harold Henderson, the arbitrator selected by Roger Goodell to hear Ezekiel Elliott’s appeal, is likely going to be expeditious in handing down his decision, it is almost certainly not going to be issued before this Saturday at 4 pm Eastern Time, when the Cowboys have to cut their roster to 53 or fewer players.
Zeke’s hearing started Tuesday, but will now stretch into Thursday to allow for additional witness testimony. This is largely driven by Zeke’s legal team doing everything in its power to improve the odds for a reduction of the suspension, and/or to set up the best possible grounds for an appeal to a court, even if both are only remote possibilities.
