So this what confuses me. If Zeke loses today, and then the appeal for this injunction happens in 4 weeks, he serves those 4 games as part of the suspension. Then he wins the injunction appeal, and then by some miracle wins the fair arbitration hearing so there is no suspension. How do they reconcile the fact that he served 4 games? Does he get credit for the next suspension? Can he trade it to Gregory, or the next Cowboy to be suspended?

Let me start by saying that I really think it unlikely that he loses today. These kinds of preliminary injunctions have habitually been granted in comparable circumstances (including Brady II and the PI that Zeke himself obtained when this was still being pursued in Texas). Failla went off the reserve in refusing to grant the PI in my professional opinion.

But if he were to lose, he'd serve the suspension. If he wins the appeal and gets the arbitration ruling vacated (a tougher hill to climb than getting the PI in the first place) before the suspension runs its course, say after 4 weeks as you suggest, he won't have to serve the remaining games. But there's nothing to be done about the games he'll have already served, other than sue the league for damages (including lost salary) as dogberry suggests in the post directly below yours.

davis is having season ending surgery from what i read. last year of contract, no point in anyone picking him up, he won't contribute this year.
Technically you could claim him and then you'd get a 2019 compensatory pick when/if he signs elsewhere this off-season. It depends on which you value more..rollover cap room or a (likely high) 2019 compensatory pick.
