导出博客文章Police in Aventura, Florida, were called to the apartment of Dallas Cowboys
running back Ezekiel Elliott to investigate an altercation with a woman in
February, according to a report in USA Today Sports.The alleged incident
involved the same woman who made a domestic abuse claim against Elliott in July,
according to the newspaper, which obtained a copy of the incident report.The
accuser alleged that Elliott, who was in Florida training for the draft, had
pushed her against a wall resulting in left shoulder pain, according to the
report, which also said there were no physical signs of injury and no
independent witnesses.There were no arrests, and there is no record the accuser
pursued charges, Terry Chavez, a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade State Attorneys
office, told USA Today.Earlier this week, Elliott said he was interviewed by the
NFL about six weeks ago about the abuse claim made against him in July. He
characterized there being an ongoing investigation but said he didnt really know
what was going on.Prosecutors in Ohio declined to press charges over the summer
in a domestic violence case involving the fourth overall draft pick. In
September, when Ohio officials decided not to file criminal charges, the
Columbus city attorneys office cited conflicting and inconsistent information in
evidence.A police report said Elliott, who played at Ohio State, denied
allegations that he assaulted the woman in July, causing bruises and abrasions.
Three witnesses told police they didnt see Elliott assault the 20-year-old
woman. Elliott said the woman got the bruises and abrasions in a bar fight.After
the win Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, Cowboys owner and general
manager Jerry Jones sounded confident Elliott would not be penalized by the
league. However, that was before this report.People that have a lot more
information than I have have given him a total clean bill of health, Jones said.
I do know that all the real information that anybody has is that he doesnt have
an issue.Jones acknowledged having a conversation with Lisa Friel, who serves as
special counsel to the NFL involving personal conduct issues, at the recent
owners meetings in Houston. He called it a good discussion, and said it might
have gotten loud because, I was having to talk over the music.Jones position is
that time has elapsed since the incident and Elliott will not face any legal
repercussions in Ohio. The NFL does not require the same burden of proof in its
personal conduct policy. A player does not have to be charged in the legal
system to have run afoul of the policy.I dont know that the NFL has a closure,
has a situation where theyve cut it close, which could be a frailty of the
system, Jones said after the Eagles game. As you know in law, one of the things
in the Constitution is that not only are you innocent before proven guilty, you
get quick addressing and then you dont get it drawn out. It has certain time
frames and has a lot of economic limitations. So we have to, in my mind, just
make sure that we inject that in the type of looking for information that we do
in the NFL. But law has many, if you will a couple 100 years at least, working
on through how you basically create some time frames, create how its initiated,
create what the circumstances are about. And several which pertain to the NFL
and companies, they dont necessarily have to go by that. We have a different
deal though. Were so public and our issues are so public that we dont afford
some of the things for some of the players, other people involved in the NFL,
that the law does.ESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer contributed to this report.

Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a
goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New
York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Less
than two weeks after cutting Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton, the Green Bay Packers
made a long-term investment in a different offensive lineman -- left tackle
David Bakhtiari.The fourth-year pro confirmed in a text message to ESPN on
Tuesday that his four-year contract extension is done. The NFL Network first
reported that the deal is worth up to $51.67 million, which would put Bakhtiari
among the top-five highest paid offensive tackles in the NFL.Bakhtiari, 24, was
a fourth-round pick in 2013. He became an immediate starter as a rookie after
Bryan Bulaga sustained a knee injury that summer in training camp and never gave
the job back, forcing the Packers to move Bulaga back to right tackle.Bakhtiari
started 46 regular-season straight games until an ankle injury knocked him out
for the final two weeks of the regular season last year plus the first playoff
game. The Packers tried three different starters in three weeks at left tackle
before Bakhtiari returned for the NFC divisional playyoff game at
Arizona.dddddddddddd.The Packers targeted Bakhtiari as one of their must-sign
free agents shortly after last season. Last month, the team told both Sitton and
fellow starting guard T.J. Lang -- both of whom were impending free agents --
that they would not engage in contract talks with them during the season because
they planned to focus on re-signing some of their younger players.Three of the
Packers five opening-day starters on the offensive line were in the final year
of their contracts. In addition to Lang and Bakhtiari, center JC Tretter also
would be a free agent after the season if no new deal is reached.After cutting
Sitton, the Packers had more than $16 million in salary-cap space. They have
more potential contract extensions to consider. Running back Eddie Lacy, tight
end Jared Cook and defensive back Micah Hyde also are in the final year of their
deals. ' ' '
