There is just something about the Dallas Cowboys and off the field issues that tend to get worse and worse every single year.
Now, the franchise is being accused of a cover-up of an incident that happened back in 2017 that involved Ezekiel Elliott.
TMZ Explains:
“The suit stems from a January 11, 2017 car crash — 4 days before the Cowboys played the Packers in an NFC Divisional Round game — when Zeke slammed a GMC Yukon into a BMW 750 driven by Ronnie Hill on his way to the Cowboys practice facility.”
Hill goes on to say that Elliott “barreled through a red light” because he was late for practice and caused more than $33,000 in damage to his vehicle. Hill claims he was physically injured in the wreck.
The impact was said to be so vicious that the two vehicles were “wedged together” and they needed a tow truck to pull them apart.
Frisco Police described the wreck as a “minor vehicle crash” and that’s where Hill drew the line.

“Hill claims the Dallas Cowboys “conspired with the Frisco Police Dept. to cover up the severity of the accident to assure that Elliott’s health would not be placed in question before their playoff game.”
According to Hill’s suit, “If anyone had actually reported the impact of the accident and had Elliott been examined he would have most likely been placed in concussion protocol and out for the Dallas Cowboys upcoming playoff game.”
In his suit, filed by attorney Larry Friedman, Hill claims Dallas Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown had raced to the scene of the accident and told Hill, “We will take care of everything.”
He is suing both Zeke and the organization for $20 MILLION in damages.
We spoke Hill’s attorney Larry Friedman who tells us, “Ezekiel Elliott believes he’s above the law. He doesn’t follow any rules. As a citizen and a member of our community he has a duty to obey the law and act responsibly, especially while driving a motor vehicle.”
Friedman adds, “There are no exemptions for running backs or members of the Dallas Cowboys.”
“He has admitted liability in this case but refuses to take responsibility as he has refused to take responsibility on so many other occasions when he has disobeyed the law.”
“My client is suing for compensation for his injuries and wants his day in court.”
