A person with direct knowledge of the situation says attorneys for Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott are set for an emergency hearing in federal court in New York as they try again to stop the running back’s six-game suspension over domestic violence allegations.

Elliott’s legal team filed a request for a temporary restraining order Monday and will get a hearing Tuesday in the Southern District of New York, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the filing hadn’t been made public.

Last year’s NFL rushing leader is suspended for Sunday’s game at San Francisco after a federal appeals court overturned an injunction that had allowed him to play this season.

The case is shifting to New York because the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ordered the dismissal of Elliott’s lawsuit in Texas. Elliott’s attorneys have indicated they are still pursuing the case with the New Orleans court.

BUCCANEERS: Jameis Winston has a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder, an injury the team hopes will not cost him any more playing time.

The third-year quarterback was hurt during the first half of Sunday’s 38-33 loss at Arizona. X-rays were negative, and Coach Dirk Koetter said an MRI revealed no structural damage.

Winston has started 37 consecutive games to begin his career after entering the NFL as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft.

He was replaced against the Cardinals by veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who rallied the Bucs (2-3) from a 31-0 third-quarter deficit to make the final score deceptively close.

Winston was hurt when he was hit by Arizona linebacker Chandler Jones less than six minutes into the game. He played two more series before being replaced by Fitzpatrick, who threw for 290 yards, with three TDs and two interceptions.

VIKINGS: Teddy Bridgewater has been cleared to rejoin the team for practice, roughly 14 months after a dislocation and multiple ligament tears in his left knee put his leg and career at risk.

Coach Mike Zimmer said Bridgewater will be eased back in and will stay on the physically unable to perform list “until he’s ready to play.”

Starting quarterback Sam Bradford has missed four games because of a lingering knee problem. Backup Case Keenum had a solid performance Sunday in a 23-10 victory over Green Bay, but Zimmer declined to name a starter for Minnesota’s next game Sunday against Baltimore.

RAIDERS: Oakland agreed with linebacker NaVorro Bowman on a one-year, $3 million contract.

Bowman was released on his request last Friday after seven-plus seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

49ERS: Defensive lineman Arik Armstead broke his hand Sunday during a loss in Washington and will need surgery, Coach Kyle Shanahan.

MONDAY’S GAME

TITANS 36, COLTS 22: Marcus Mariota threw a tiebreaking 53-yard touchdown pass to Taiwan Taylor with 5:37 remaining, lifting Tennessee (3-3) over visiting Indianapolis (2-4).

Mariota was 23 of 32 for 306 yards in his return from a hamstring injury.

Derrick Henry added a 72-yard touchdown run in the final minute.

The Titans also got five field goals from Ryan Succop, who has made an NFL record 51 straight field goals inside 50 yards.
