FRISCO, Texas – Ezekiel Elliott can return to the Cowboys and play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs – for the time being, at least.
The Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals granted an emergency motion for a brief administrative stay of Elliott’s six-game suspension from the NFL, which went into effect on Tuesday night.
Essentially, the Second Circuit has granted Elliott the ability to hold off his suspension while he appeals to the court. The stay will grant him eligibility to play Sunday against Kansas City, and then the appeal will be referred to a three-judge panel on an expedited basis.
