Ezekiel Elliott’s Six-Game NFL Suspension is Back On

Ezekiel Elliott’s six-game suspension from the NFL is back on, and he should have to actually start serving it this time.

The former Ohio State running back's latest motion for an injunction was denied by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday. The NFL is now able to enforce his suspension immediately and plans to do so, meaning that Elliott is set to be suspended for the Dallas Cowboys’ next six games, beginning Sunday when the Cowboys play the Atlanta Falcons.

That said, the U.S. Circuit Court did grant Elliott's motion for his appeal of the NFL's suspension to be heard on an expedited basis, which makes it possible that he could have a ruling in his favor before serving the full length of the six-game suspension.
