NFL is Reportedly Likely to Review Recent Incident Involving Ezekiel Elliott
By James.r
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is back in hot water with the NFL League Office. According to ProFootballTalk, the NFL is likely to review the recent incident involving Elliott at a music festival in Las Vegas.
On May 20, video surfaced of Elliott bumping into a security guard and knocking him to the ground during an altercation at EDC Las Vegas.

It's not the first time that Elliott has been in trouble with the NFL, as he was suspended for six games in 2017 as a result of the the league's investigation into domestic violence allegations against the all-pro. As was the case with the previous investigation, Elliott was not charged with a crime in the Las Vegas incident.
Because the NFL personal conduct policy does not require the same burden of proof as the legal system, it remains very possible that Elliott will face disciplinary action from the league, especially because he is not a first-time offender.

If Elliott were to miss time this season, it would be a huge blow for the Cowboys, as Zeke is a staple of their high-powered offense and is Dak Prescott's safety blanket.
In 15 games in 2018, the former Ohio State Buckeye rushed for a league-high 1,434 yards and added 77 catches for 567 yards.
