The star running back’s side has 24 hours to appeal, but the Dallas Morning News’ David Moore says how “legal options are extremely limited at this time & aren’t in [Elliott’s] favor.”

For now, it appears Elliott will miss Cowboys (4-3) games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons, Philadlephia Eagles, Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Redskins, and New York Giants. He would be eligible to return Dec. 17 in Week 15 against the Oakland Raiders.
