A U.S. District Court judge has granted a preliminary injunction of Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension in a motion filed by the NFL Players' Association, according to Austin Knoblauch of NFL.com.
The U.S. District Court in eastern Texas will now review the NFLPA's petition to have Elliott's suspension voided and to decide if the case moves to trial.
There is no timetable for the decision, however according to Ian Rapoport, it is now likely that Elliott will play the entire 2017 season as the case makes it way through the courts.
Elliott's was suspended for an alleged domestic violence incident from 2016. His appeal was recently denied, however, the decision came so late that Elliott was going to be permitted to play in Week 1.
In the motion to have the suspension overturned, the NFLPA claimed there was a "league-wide conspiracy ... to hide critical information" in the league's investigation.
The decision has come down likely paving the way for Zeke Elliott to play the 2017 season. https://t.co/TpCAkrlDO1
