Ezekiel Elliott suspension reinstated after court ruling - NFL.com

I didnt read the actual opinion but I believe the injunction was lifted bc Elliott didnt exhaust his available remedies per CBA protocol .. basically any appeal was premature.

I imagine this goes back into NFL hands, Zeke exhausts his remedies available to him under the CBA, then he can file a stay of the suspension and appeal w Fed Co.

Regardless, my understanding is that these appeals are not fact based appeals (meaning Fed Co isnt trying to decide if Zeke committed assault, etc) but limited to review of procedural errors -- did the NFL not follow their CBA and maybe, whether employment discipline procedure is fair, reasonable and provides due process to players.

I think Zeke plays for the foreseeable future until all these legal boxes get checked off.
