Ezekiel Elliott remains eligible to play, for now

Despite the NFL’s statement this week that Ezekiel Elliott‘s suspension has begun, the judge overseeing his case says otherwise.

A source tells PFT that United States District Court Judge Amos L. Mazzant has informed the NFL and NFL Players Association that he will not lift the injunction preventing the NFL from suspending Elliott until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit rules on Elliott’s petition for rehearing.

That means Elliott remains eligible to play, at least until a petition for rehearing is filed and resolved.

Notice the judge said until the appeal is filed AND resolved..........my guess, he'll play against 49ers and maybe even next game. Hell I can't imagine, the court setting an appeal date AND resolving the issue within two weeks.

Nothing has gone right I wouldn’t bet against that

These times are awful, tbh.

When the writer/creator/director of Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles says his ish cannot be made today...

That perks ears amongst writers.

These days are not for artists with free minds and clear consciouses. They are for the... someone else.

Resolved could be "no, we're not going to hear it."

I'm not in the legal system sobi have no idea, but someone here said full court hearings are rare.
