Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott had his six-game suspension upheld by an arbitrator on Tuesday, as first reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Harold Henderson sided with the NFL in his ruling, backing the league's punishment in the wake of findings related to domestic-violence allegations that reportedly began when the star running back was at Ohio State.
Elliott is expected to file a lawsuit — backed by the NFLPA — against the league seeking a temporary restraining order on the matter. The argument is believed to be that the NFL did not follow the guidelines as agreed upon in the CBA when it punished Elliott under the league's personal conduct policy.
