Ezekiel Elliott Phone Records Given to NFL Amid Domestic Violence Investigation

According to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, "The NFL Players Association recently turned over phone records and other documents that league investigators have been seeking in their ongoing probe of domestic violence allegations against Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott."

The NFLPA and Elliott's representatives agreed to give the NFL those records last week amid the league's nearly yearlong investigation of Elliott, who a woman accused of domestic violence last July. He was never arrested or charged after the allegations, however.

The league has offered no update on the investigation beyond saying that it remains ongoing, per Pelissero.

The lack of resolution in the investigation has frustrated both Elliott and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. 

"I do want closure," Elliott said in January, per the Dallas Morning News. "I would rather it not drag on this long. If there was something to find, which there's not, they would've found it by now. The police did a very thorough investigation. It just seems like they're dragging their feet right now. Who knows, man. I’m just ready for it to end."

Jones concurred. 

"Absolutely nothing anywhere that indicates anything other than what they told us when we left training camp and that is that they have no cause," Jones said in March, per Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News.

He continued, "There is just nothing. I know I would have heard about it. I would have the information if there were something. I know that." 

Given the NFL's mishandling of domestic abuse cases in the past—from the infamous situation with Ray Rice to Josh Brown more recently—it has clearly taken a cautious approach with Elliott.
