Dallas Cowboys' Elliott will not be suspended

The Dallas Cowboys avoided a major blow to their playoff hopes when they learned that star running back Ezekiel Elliott will not be suspended by the NFL for a Las Vegas incident in which he bumped a security guard.

The NFL issued the following statement on the matter:

Immediately following reports of an incident in Las Vegas in May involving Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL conducted a comprehensive investigation that included interviews with multiple witnesses, including security personnel and others with direct involvement, as well as a review of documentary and other information.

On Tuesday, as part of the review, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met with Mr. Elliott to reinforce the standards of conduct expected of him and the consequences for failing to meet those standards.

Mr. Elliott acknowledged that he demonstrated poor judgment and committed to make better choices in the future. He volunteered to take advantage of the resources available to help him continue to grow personally.

Commissioner Goodell determined there was no violation of the personal conduct policy and no further action is warranted.

Elliott previously served a six-game suspension in 2017.
