Ezekiel Elliott

After meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday to discuss an incident from May that didn't involve an arrest but did involve handcuffs, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott released a statement to apologize for what he called a "poor decision."

It's still not known if Elliott will face a suspension.

"I need to work harder to ensure I do not put myself in compromised situations in the future. I am rededicating myself to use all of the resources that the league has made available. But in the end, it is up to me and I am determined not to be in this position again," he said.

In a video, Elliott appeared to push an even staffer into a guardrail that toppled over. Elliott was handcuffed but not arrested. He could still face discipline from the NFL.
