NFL.com : reported that NFL wrapping up its investigation into Ezekiel Elliott incidents

The investigatory part of the process is nearing completion, sources say, and the league has shared its findings with the NFLPA, Elliott and his representatives. The incident from Sunday is not part of the NFL's investigation into the prior assault allegations, a source with knowledge of the investigation said, and would not factor into any potential discipline stemming from this current probe. Dallas police announced Wednesday they were suspending their investigation into that matter and have not named any suspect or mentioned Elliott. Elliott spoke to league investigators last fall and has expressed frustration the NFL's probe hasn't concluded, as have his attorney and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The report the NFL sent to the NFLPA made no recommendation one way or another on potential discipline, according to two people who have seen it.

The NFL just took a big step towards wrapping up its Ezekiel Elliott investigation

On the other hand, it's a punishment from the NFL league office. There might not be enough in place to suspend Elliott for any one incident. There is more proof of this: on Friday, NFL.com reported that the league is wrapping up its investigation into Elliott. According to the NFL.com report, "The NFL players Association recently filed to the NFL what the union, Ezekiel Elliott and his representatives hope is a final response that answers any lingering questions remaining in the league's year-long investigation." Now we are squarely in the time of year when the NFL starts dumping punishments on various players, and it's possible the Elliott suspension could be coming fairly soon.

NFL is wrapping up the Ezekiel Elliott investigation

According to NFL Media (i.e., the NFL), the investigatory phase of the process is nearing completion, and the NFL has shared its findings with the NFL Players Association. Posted by Mike Florio on July 21, 2017, 1:49 PM EDTNearly a year after Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott allegedly engaged in domestic violence, the NFL is closing in on ending its investigation. Those who believe it will criticize the league for not taking action against Elliott, creating a potential Ray Rice-style embarrassment for the league. Also, the NFLPA has provided to the league a "final response" aimed at answering "any lingering question" about the probe into whether Elliott violated the personal conduct policy. Although he was never arrested or charged, the league applies a lower standard of proof in these matters, with the question of whether Elliott violated the policy essentially coming down to whether the league believes Elliott or his accuser.
