The Facts: Jerry Jones' crusade for Elliott continued Friday as the Cowboys owner doubled down on his belief that the star running back will not face a suspension. "No, no, I'm not," Jones said in a Hall of Fame press conference. "I don't want to basically be to, let's say, pro-active about how I feel because that's not going to make any difference here at all. What I don't want to do is hurt things about how I feel. So that's that. But I think that when you look at everything that I'm aware of, then I'm not anticipating a suspension."

Diehards Line: It repeated what Jones said during NBC’s broadcast of the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night. So, as PFT's Charean Williams asked, "Is Jones — who some would argue is the NFL’s most powerful figure — trying to pressure the league?

During the offseason, Elliott exposed a woman’s breast during a St. Patrick’s Day celebration and was involved in an altercation at a Dallas bar. Jones, however, remains steadfast that Elliott has done nothing that warrants a suspension. ... And we all continue to await a decision on that.
