The NFL is still deciding how to handle Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott for his off-field incidents, but ESPN's Adam Schefter suggested he could receive some type of discipline.
Schefter broke down the situation on Sirius XM Fantasy Sports.
"This is a situation that has gone back and forth so many times," he explained, via Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com. "I've spoken to some people within the league who, during the course of the offseason, got a sense that some form of discipline could happen."
Elliott remains under investigation by the NFL for a domestic violence incident that allegedly occurred last July.
In June, Tom Pelissero of USA Today reported the NFL's probe was nearing its end, but the league remains careful considering its slew of recent domestic violence cases, especially with a high-profile star involved.
Several other incidents involving Elliott made headlines during his rookie season, causing him to "stay out of the way" during the offseason, per Kate Hairopoulos of the Dallas Morning News.
While these cases could force the NFL to take action, Schefter noted there is still uncertainty whether the league will do anything. An expected decision was pushed back from last Friday, according to Schefter.
"Nothing may well happen there, but something could happen there," he explained. "We just don't know right now. It's just sort of out there."
Elliott is coming off an outstanding rookie season where he led the NFL with 1,631 rushing yards to go with 15 touchdowns.
