On July 16, Elliott was involved in an incident at a Dallas bar that initially sparked an assault investigation before Dallas police suspended their probe. NFL investigators interviewed Elliott in October as part of their probe. Elliott is entering his second NFL season with the Cowboys after rushing for 1,631 yards and 15 touchdowns en route to earning first-team All-Pro honors as a rookie. Elliott and the NFLPA turned over phone records and documents related to the case to the league in May.
