As day one of Ezekiel Elliott’s appeal hearing for his six-game suspension from the NFL came and went, fans and media members were left in the dark on how the proceedings went

Then, right before Cowboys Twitter tucker itself in for the night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave us… well, something.

While at first this report doesn’t reveal much about what happened during the proceeding, Schefter’s colleague Josina Anderson followed up the news with an explanation for the extension.

Anderson was quick to point out that the witness will not be a surprise appearance by Tiffany Thompson, the woman Elliott is being accused of domestic assault against who was told by head arbitrator Harold Henderson not to attend. She also noted Tuesday’s appeal process began at 10 a.m. and ran until 6 p.m., and the same should be expected on Wednesday as there is “still a lot to review.”

There likely won’t be any solid reports out of these hearings until everything is wrapped up, due to the NFL and the union’s desire to keep the media away from the situation. Yet that doesn’t mean rumors about the process won’t be leaked over the next couple days.

Anderson got the ball rolling on that as well, after tweeting out some updates that Elliott’s camp presumably leaked to her early Wednesday morning.

While those first two tweets are merely hype-boosters for those waiting anxiously on a ruling, the last tweet could have some serious implications to the case.

There are allegedly pictures that were presented as part of the NFL’s investigation that conflict with the timeline of when Thompson said she received her injuries. A copy of the affidavit that spawned this rumor also made its way onto Anderson’s timeline.

The pictures referenced in the above affidavit have not surfaced publicly, and there is no confirmation these are even the photos Anderson was being informed about.

There remains plenty of gray area in this entire ordeal.

With Wednesday’s proceedings already underway, hopefully more light will be shed on this situation before the appeal wraps up on Thursday.
