In other SPORTS BITES: The NFL has presented Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott with follow-up questions regarding assault accusations his ex-girlfriend.
Ezekiel Elliott is answering those inquiries. Everything will be handled after the NFL season, and he will get a potential punishment to be levied for the 2017 campaign.
Zeke, per Drew Davison of Star-Telegram said:
“If there was something to find, which there’s not, they would’ve found it by now. … It seems like [NFL] is dragging their feet.”
Per Bleacher Report:
According to Ezekiel Elliott, he maintains his innocence, and four witnesses denied seeing an assault take place, including one who was in the car during the alleged incident. Elliott claimed she had suffered the bruises in a bar fight.
She also accused Elliott of forcefully pushing her against a wall in February 2016, per Tom Pelissero and A.J. Perez of USA Today. However, the police report “said there were no visible signs of injury and that the accuser declined to go to the hospital after police responded to a call about an altercation at Elliott’s apartment Feb. 12.”
Elliott claimed he did push the woman but only after he had attempted to leave the room during a heated argument and she grabbed him around the waist. He claimed he pushed her to free himself from her grasp.
Zeke was never arrested or charged with a crime in either alleged incident. A source told Schefter the running back says he’s been compliant during the NFL’s investigation and has nothing to hide.
However, the NFL reserves the right to levy punishment against him even if he hasn’t been charged with a crime.
We guess Zeke isn’t smiling off the assault allegations anymore…
