The explanation states that the investigation concludes that there “were of the view that there is substantial and persuasive evidence supporting a finding that [Elliott] engaged in physical violence against Ms. Thompson on multiple occasions.”
Elliott will reportedly be eligible to play Week 1 when the Cowboys take on the Giants because of his pending lawsuit against the NFL, but if he does, will then not see the field until Week 9.
