Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was involved in a late-night incident Sunday at a Dallas bar in which authorities were called, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
Elliott, 21, was not arrested and it’s unclear what his involvement actually entails. In a statement released by the Dallas Police Department, a 30-year-old man said he was physically assaulted, but could not identify who assaulted him.
POlice were called to the bar at 9:40 p.m.

No arrests were made and an investigation is still ongoing.
Elliott was named to the first-team All-Pro as a rookie last season, providing a huge spark to the Cowboys last season. He rushed for a league-leading 1,631 yards and the Cowboys went 13-3.
But the 21-year-old running back has also been in his fair share of off-field issues. Elliott, according to Schefter, could still be suspended by the NFL for a 2016 domestic violence incident.
In March, Elliott was videotaped pulling down a woman’s top during a St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
