Ezekiel Elliott Reportedly Could Face 'Some Form' of NFL Discipline quoting : Bleacher Report

Elliott is coming off an outstanding rookie season where he led the NFL with 1,631 rushing yards to go with 15 touchdowns. Elliott remains under investigation by the NFL for a domestic violence incident that allegedly occurred last July. Tony Gutierrez/Associated PressThe NFL is still deciding how to handle Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott for his off-field incidents, but ESPN's Adam Schefter suggested he could receive some type of discipline. "I've spoken to some people within the league who, during the course of the offseason, got a sense that some form of discipline could happen." While these cases could force the NFL to take action, Schefter noted there is still uncertainty whether the league will do anything.




While under investigation, Elliott pulled down a woman's shirt during a St. Patrick's Day party, exposing her breast on camera. Appearing on SiriusXM Fantasy Football with John Hansen and Adam Caplan on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, ESPN's Adam Schefter hinted that discipline may be coming Elliott's way. There have been more meetings between either Zeke's people and the league, or the NFLPA and the league, or whoever. I've spoken to some people within the league who, during the course of the offseason, got a sense that some form of discipline could happen. It's long been assumed no discipline was coming for Elliott, and this is the first time a reporter of note has hinted that it would.

NFL news: Ezekiel Elliott, Jordan Howard early favorites for rushing title

Shady shares a backfield in Buffalo with quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who last year led all quarterbacks with 580 rushing yards. The leading candidate: Jordan Howard, Chicago BearsThe runner-up last season in his rookie year, Howard had 1,313 rushing yards on 252 carries for the Bears. In 2015 Gurley racked up 1,106 rushing yards in just 13 games but only mustered 885 yards in 16 contests last season. Johnson's 1,239 rushing yards were seventh-best last season, but his 879 receiving yards and 80 receptions were both tops among all running backs. After a few down years, the running back position has made a comeback, and the NFL rushing title is again relevant each season.
