And it remains unclear whether the Dallas Cowboys will have running back Ezekiel Elliott for the next six games. The fifth circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, along with Elliott’s legal team and NFLPA representatives, will have a rehearing in an attempt for a temporary restraining order against the league, as well as a motion filed for a preliminary injunction.  The case will be heard today in the southern district of New York.
