Harold Henderson, the arbitrator assigned to hear Ezekiel Elliott's appeal by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, has reportedly upheld the 6 game suspension stemming from domestic violence allegations. If the suspension starts Week 1, Ezekiel Elliott will miss the first 6 games of the Cowboys regular season, and return Week 8(Cowboys bye is Week 6) vs the Washington Redskins.
There have been reports that Elliott will play Week 1 vs the Giants which would cause him to miss the Redskins game if the full suspension is officially upheld. Nothing has officially been announced by the league, but any updates will be added as they are released.
Just got out of court and got phone back. NFL took position Ezekiel Elliott CAN play Sunday. Judge rules by 5 pm Friday on restraining order

So now, Ezekiel Elliott awaits ruling from Texas court on his temporary restraining order. If granted, Cowboys likely to have him all year.
