NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday appointed Harold Henderson to be the arbiter for Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott's appeal hearing, a source confirmed to ESPN's Todd Archer.
Henderson also was the arbiter for the appeal hearings of former Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy and then-Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Henderson reduced Hardy's suspension from 10 games to four in 2015 and upheld Adrian Peterson's indefinite suspension in 2014.
The NFL Network first reported that Henderson would be the arbiter for Elliott's appeal.
The hearing is scheduled to take place on Aug.
