The Ezekiel Elliott drama continues in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboy star running back has been suspended more times this season than President Trump has been accused of being a Russian agent. In this never ending process, Elliott will once again be ineligible to play this Sunday, at least for now.

Although Elliott was initially suspended for 6 games prior to the start of week 1, he has played in every game. But yesterday, U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla brought that to a halt and possibly the Cowboys season. She denied a request for a preliminary injunction. The NFL and the NFLPA both argued their sides in court but Failla sided with Roger Goodell.

But this ruling is far from the last straw for Elliott. Both sides were given 24 hours to consider appellate options and no one expects the Cowboys to go away quietly.

The Cowboys running back is having a fantastic year so far. He is third in the NFL in rushing yards with 690. He is first in the league with 6 rushing touchdowns. The Cowboys are 4-3 on the season and will likely be fighting for a wild card position. It is unlikely that they can catch the red hot division leaders, the Philadelphia Eagles, who sit at 7-1 including a 6 game winning streak.

If Elliott remains suspended, it can't come at a worse time. Their schedule gets brutal, starting with a game against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. That will be followed by a tough trip to the Atlanta Falcons and then they will return home to face the Eagles.

What do you think about The Ezekiel Elliott situation? Will he actually serve his suspension or will he find a way to play this weekend? Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @hogan22
