Free agent running back Ezekiel Elliott reportedly settled a lawsuit he was facing that alleged one of his dogs attacked a woman in 2021.
According to Isabella Volmert of the Dallas Morning News (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk), a woman who was his neighbor filed the lawsuit against him in July 2021. It was scheduled to go to a jury trial on Monday but was settled for an undisclosed amount.
She was initially seeking more than $1 million in damages.
The woman said in the lawsuit that the dog attack left her with "severe and permanent injuries" and that Elliott "was well aware that his dog had a propensity to bite and attack people" but did not take the proper precautions.
