The Dallas Cowboys travel to Denver for a 2:25 p.m. kickoff on Sept. 17, and there was speculation their dynamite second-year running back wouldn't be with them. That was due to a six-game suspension imposed by the NFL after an investigation into domestic violence accusations.

Ezekiel Elliott denies wrongdoing and hasn't been charged with any crimes.

But on Friday, Elliott was granted a preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court, and according to NFL.com he may not miss any games this season.
