Dallas Cowboys Star Running Back Ezekiel Elliott Apologizes For Music Festival Incident

While dodging defenders across the gridiron every Sunday afternoon often comes with ease for him, off the field issue seem like the only thing Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott cannot to break tackles from, as the repercussions from an altercation involving Elliott at a music festival weeks ago now brings an unexpected blitz into the reigning running champ’s summer.

Although the event which lead to on–sight police detaining Elliott occurred over a month ago, it took until this week for Elliott to meet with NFL commissioner Rodger Goodell to discuss the situation. Elliott faces no criminal charges following the incident however, as the police quickly removed Elliott’s handcuffs and released him after deeming the situation negligible. Despite this, the NFL proceeded forward with their own individual investigation, which consequently lead to Elliott’s trip to Goodell’s office this Tuesday.
