The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted Elliott a temporary stay of his suspension Friday, making him eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
The Cowboys had been preparing for Elliott to miss Sunday's contest, as it seemed he was finally set to begin serving his six-game suspension, which the NFL first handed down in August. It turns out he'll be available for at least one more week, with Elliott aiming to build off a 150-yard, two-score performance in the Cowboys' 33-19 win over the Redskins in Week 8. Per Graziano, Elliott could begin serving the suspension as early as Week 10, with Second Circuit Court judges scheduled to convene next week to hear his request for an injunction that overturns judge Katherine Failla's ruling to deny the running back's request for a stay. Friday's ruling stems from the emergency motion the NFLPA filed Wednesday.
