Nerdy Football Analysis: Barring a complete removal of Elliott’s six-game suspension, this is trending toward a prolonged court battle in which he plays out the 2016 season in the same way Tom Brady did in 2015 while his case was in limbo. The league usually doles out discipline no later than Tuesday during the season so teams can plan their week, and that will probably be the deadline here. Owners can’t feel secure they’ll have Zeke in Week 1, but the odds of it happening seem to be getting stronger.
