The NFL has announced they will suspend Dallas Cowboys running back for six games during the 2017 season.
Adam Schefter tweeted that a source told him Elliott would be suspended for six games in connection with domestic abuse accusations.
According to a police report, a woman alleged last July that Elliott was her former live-in boyfriend and that he assaulted her in the driver's seat of her car in Columbus, Ohio. Police said the woman complained of wrist pain but denied medical treatment.
Elliott told police he didn't hit the woman and that they didn't live together, according to the report.
Columbus police said they did not arrest or charge Elliott due to conflicting statements from the victim and witnesses.
The woman also said Elliott struck her several times in the past week, which he also has denied. Elliott said she got the bruises and abrasions in a bar fight.
Despite not being arrested, the NFL never closed their investigation into the allegations.
After being drafted fourth overall by the Cowboys in the 2016 NFL Draft, Elliott scored 16 touchdowns as a rookie and led the NFL in rushing with 1,631 yards.
