The Cowboys owner says he's been told the rookie running back is getting "a total clean bill of health" in the domestic violence probe.

Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott, the NFL's leading rusher, could face a lengthy ban under the league's domestic violence policy pending the outcome of an ongoing investigation, CBS Sports reported Sunday, citing unidentified sources with knowledge of the situation.

Elliott rushed for 96 yards in Sunday night's 29-23 overtime victory over the Eagles, giving him 799 for the season.

Afterward, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed CBS Sports' report that he spoke with Lisa Friel, the NFL official in charge of investigating alleged violations of the league's personal code of conduct, at the recent owners meetings in Houston, The Dallas Morning News reported.

"You know, we had a good discussion — but that is about where I'll leave it, at that," Jones said.

Jones did say, however, that he believes Elliott will emerge unscathed from the NFL's ongoing investigation.

"People that have a lot more information than I have have given him a total clean bill of health," Jones said. "I do know that all the real information that anybody has is that he doesn't have an issue."

Earlier in the week, USA Today reported that NFL investigators recently interviewed Elliott as part of their probe.

A complaint filed after an incident this summer in Columbus, Ohio, alleged that the for Ohio State star was guilty of domestic abuse in five instances, but no criminal charges were filed.

The NFL doesn't comment on the potential status of investigations or potential violations of its personal conduct policy.

Asked Sunday night about the issue, Elliott kept his focus on the field for the 6-1 Cowboys (via The Associated Press): "All I can do is not worry about it, focus on this team and do whatever I can do to help these guys get wins."
