Patriots' Zeke 'Entourage' Under Investigation For Fight Near Cowboys Headquarters

The "entourage" of New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is under investigation by Texas police for their role in a bar fight near Dallas Cowboys headquarters.

Per TMZ, the Frisco, Texas Police Department's investigation into a bar fight occurring at an establishment near the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility partly centers on Ezekiel Elliott's group of friends.

The current New England Patriots running back, back home in North Texas, was present at Concrete Cowboy last weekend when the incident took place. An FPD report states that "a male and a female were physically assaulted by a large group of males" and that "members of Elliott's group may have been involved."

Video from the scene obtained by TMZ may exonerate Elliott from any direct involvement, however. A man resembling the two-time NFL rushing champion appears to be speaking with a woman and keeping his distance from the incident in question. FPD detectives confirmed to TMZ that they are "still working to confirm the details of the incident." Per Mike Fisher of Cowboys Country, no arrests have been made.

Fisher also notes that Elliott, 28, continues to make his home in the Dallas metroplex after spending the first seven years of his NFL career with the Cowboys. Concrete Cowboy is just a couple of blocks from The Star, the Cowboys' state-of-the-art practice facility 20 miles north of Dallas. 

Elliott Endures Dreary Dallas Reunion

Elliott recently wrapped his first season with the Patriots, signing with the team less than a month before kickoff weekend after he was released by the Cowboys in March. Working on a one-year deal worth $15 million, Elliott led the sputtering New England offense in yards from scrimmage at 955 after taking over for the injured primary man Rhamondre Stevenson. He's due to hit free agency of the unrestricted variety this spring.
