This just in:
“On this date, the Court considered Respondents’ Emergency Motion to stay injunction pending appeal. After considering the arguments, the Court finds the Motion should be GRANTED. The Preliminary Injunction entered on Sept. 8, 2017 is hereby STAYED, pending Respondents’ appeal.”

Looks like Elliot's suspension is back on for the time being

The 5th Circuit is awful if they did this. The purpose of the appeal was to challenge the fundamental fairness of the arbitration proceeding. You cannot do this without the TRO, as otherwise Zeke will have served his 6-game suspension and the issue will be moot.

Dumb question, but how are courts so quick to respond/resolve these issues all the time? Seems like they are presented with the case and then rule on it 2 days later.

I have just checked the Eastern District and Fifth Circuit PACER websites for the underlying case and the appeal.

At 12:30 p.m. on 09/11/17
The NFL filed an appeal to the 5th Circuit.
The NFL asked the original judge--Judge Mazzant--to stay the preliminary injunction, which is the order that stopped the suspension.
Judge Mazzant has not ruled on that request.
The NFL has not asked the 5th Circuit for a stay of the preliminary injunction yet, but that is possible if Mazzant denies it.
