Less than 24 hours after Ezekiel Elliott was denied motion for a preliminary injunction that reinstated his six-game suspension, Jerry Jones called his star running back a "victim of an overcorrection" by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

"The ruling has more to do with the scope of the commissioner's authority and not really bearing on whether Zeke is guilty of domestic violence or not," the Cowboys owner and general manager said Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan's Shan and RJ show [KRLD-FM]. "That's where this stuff gets so convoluted, let's say. I am very troubled by the swings that we've had, that in this very thing the judge in this case ratified for the commissioner, but his swing of judgement has been unbelievable from the Ray Rice thing from one to two games all the way up to a six-game suspension when you truly have got a debate.

"Even this judge said that it shows reasonable people could possibly come down on both sides of this. Well, in our legal system it has to be stronger than that for someone to have done it. We all know that we weren't there to see it, but I do have every point of contention on both sides and in our system in this country Zeke would not have any issue here as to his workplace. I emphasize that because there's a difference in that and law.

"But I will tell you with the knowledge I have, the circumstances aren't treating him fair. Two years ago, this wouldn't be an issue."

Jones was referring to former Ravens running back Ray Rice's incident in 2014 when he assaulted his then-fiancée (now his wife) in Atlantic City. Rice was originally suspended two games. But when video of the incident was released, the NFL suspended Rice indefinitely. He has not played in the league since.

Jones added that if a player is guilty of domestic violence he shouldn't play. But because Elliott was never charged with a crime, he doesn't fall into that category.
