Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has been issued three animal-at-large citations after his pet Rottweiler allegedly escaped and bit two people, who needed to be taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Elliott’s dogs managed to get loose outside his Frisco, Texas home. One of the dogs, a Rottweiler named Ace, is accused of biting two people.
The dogs were then collected by local animal services and placed in a mandatory 10-day quarantine, according to the Morning News. No charges have been filed, but Frisco police say there is an ongoing investigation.

This is not the first time Elliott’s dogs have been in the news.
Last year, Elliott was sued by a cleaner for $1 million after his dogs allegedly attacked her.
The woman claimed she was initially bitten by Ace, who dragged her by her arm before Elliott’s bulldogs joined in, biting her legs. Furthermore, she claimed, the dogs had previously attacked a co-worker of hers at the cleaning company.
Charges were never filed, but the civil case is set to resume in February, according to the Morning News.
A year earlier, in 2019, Elliott’s father Stacy El-Muhammad was charged in Ohio for owning a serval, an illegal African cat, which allegedly attacked a neighbor’s pet dog before being shot dead by police. He pleaded not guilty in the case and most of the charges were either reduced or dismissed, according to Fairfield County (Ohio) records.
Elliott, a former Ohio State star, is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and has been named to two All-Pro teams as a member of the Cowboys. The 25-year-old has earned nearly $49 million in salary over his five NFL seasons.
