Zeke will play Sunday according to ESPN, but will be suspended weeks 2-7 . That means he'll miss our game.

Zeke is cleared for week 1, but the TRO ruling isn't until Friday. If it's granted, then he might play the whole season until his case is heard.
Harold Henderson handled Elliott's appeal for the NFL, and after some time ruled that Elliott would get no reduction from the six-game suspension. The league suspended the second-year running back after a series of alleged domestic violence incidents, though multiple reports say the evidence was compromised throughout the process.
Since the suspension came after Tuesday at 4 p.m., the deadline for such moves, the suspension can not take place until Week 2. Elliott has filed for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the suspension until it winds its way through the courts. A Texas judge is scheduled to rule on that by Friday. If the TRO is granted, Elliott could well play the entire season while the process plays out. Should the TRO be denied, Elliott's suspension would run for Weeks 2-7. That would make the final game of the suspension October 29 against the Redskins.
