Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott's appeal hearing concludes after three days, per report
Ezekiel Elliott's appeal of his six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy concluded Thursday after three days of testimony.
The Dallas Cowboys star hopes to have his ban, levied by the league Aug. 11 amid domestic violence allegations against a woman claiming to be a former girlfriend, vacated (or at least reduced) by independent arbitrator Harold Henderson.

Elliott's suspension is set to begin Saturday and will end Oct. 23, making him eligible to play in Week 8. Depending on Henderson's ruling, Elliott could seek a preliminary injunction in court that might get him on the field sooner, although the federal courts have already ruled that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has the authority under the collective bargaining agreement to police player conduct.

"Any hope for an injunction hinges on identifying a fundamental procedural error in a proceeding that has not yet occurred," sports attorney Daniel Wallach told USA TODAY Sports.
The NFL investigated the accusations against Elliott, which stemmed from an alleged incident in July, 2016, for more than a year. He was never arrested or charged and has denied any wrongdoing.
