Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott loses appeal, full six-game suspension upheld

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 to get an injunction. The argument is expected to be that the NFL did not follow the guidelines as agreed upon in the CBA when it punished Elliott.
