The Dallas Cowboys conspired with police to cover up info from a 2017 car crash that would have sidelined Ezekiel Elliott from a crucial NFL playoff game ... so says a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.


The suit stems from a January 11, 2017 car crash -- 4 days before the Cowboys played the Packers in an NFC Divisional Round game -- when Zeke slammed a GMC Yukon into a BMW 750 driven by Ronnie Hill on his way to the Cowboys practice facility.



Hill claims Zeke was obviously at fault because the running back was running late to practice and had "barreled through a red light" -- causing more than $33,000 in damage to Hill's vehicle. Hill claims he was physically injured in the wreck.


Hill says the impact of the collision was so intense, the two vehicles were "wedged together" and they needed a tow truck to pull them apart.



At the time, the Frisco Police Dept. put out a statement describing the incident as a "minor vehicle crash" ... but Hill says that's a crock of B.S.


In fact, Hill claims the Dallas Cowboys "conspired with the Frisco Police Dept. to cover up the severity of the accident to assure that Elliott's health would not be placed in question before their playoff game."


According to Hill's suit, "If anyone had actually reported the impact of the accident and had Elliott been examined he would have most likely been placed in concussion protocol and out for the Dallas Cowboys upcoming playoff game."


In his suit, filed by attorney Larry Friedman, Hill claims Dallas Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown had raced to the scene of the accident and told Hill, "We will take care of everything."


Hill claims the Cowboys did NOT take of anything -- and he's suing both Zeke and the Cowboys for $20 MILLION in damages.
By the way, the Cowboys ended up LOSING the playoff game 34 to 31 ... but Zeke played great, rushing for 125 yards on 22 carries.


We reached out to the Frisco P.D. and the Dallas Cowboys for comment -- so far, no word from either side. A rep for Elliott had no comment.


We spoke Hill's attorney Larry Friedman who tells us, "Ezekiel Elliott believes he's above the law. He doesn't follow any rules. As a citizen and a member of our community he has a duty to obey the law and act responsibly, especially while driving a motor vehicle."


Friedman adds, "There are no exemptions for running backs or members of the Dallas Cowboys."


"He has admitted liability in this case but refuses to take responsibility as he has refused to take responsibility on so many other occasions when he has disobeyed the law."


"My client is suing for compensation for his injuries and wants his day in court."

Disagree.

Elliot is a disaster anywhere but on the field.

Laker, the DISGRACE is Elliott holding out. After the # of times that JerryJ went out of his way for this guy...u don't hold out.

With two years left on his deal as well. He will not get paid. He is trying to get a big deal with guaranteed money before he gets into his next altercation off the field.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Laker, mentality of the modern-day athlete is WAY OFF. Hold-out should be last resort, for situation that u deem un-tenable.

*Jerry went to bat for Elliott vs the League. That should score pts w/ Elliott, enuf for him to show up.
*Gordon is on a roster capable of making Super Bowl. He should be in camp. Have a good year + let your contract status play itself out.

In a strange way, I'll give LBell some credit for sticking to his guns. He sacrificed a year of pay. It might have been stupid, but he believed in it.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Laker, how do u see LBell performing this year? In Bell's camp, he'll feel like he'll be fresher.

But think about the "ring-rust." I'll go on record + say the time away winds up being a bad thing. On top of that, who is going to just show up for the JEST and look All-world?

Just another Ohio State Scum Product.

Sounds like it.

The angle about how he would be sidelined for a playoff game because of a concussion is just reaching, an obvious guess.

It stops even purporting to be facts at that point.

He will be okay. I'm not sure darnold is right for him though

[Roadtrip635]

A 2 year old wreck and claims it was a severe wreck and suffered "serious and permanent" injuries, .....yeah right. He declined medical attention at the scene. It was so severe that Zeke should have been in concussion protocol? Dude's looking for a pay day, just looks at that vicious wreck, surprised anyone lived through that.......lol

[Auto Donk]

cover up?

better bring in "you know who".....

[Otters27]

Can't trust anyone these days

[Auto Donk]

after seeing this, I hope the cowboys counter sue for the filing of a frivolous lawsuit....




concussion? his head would have had to hit something inside the vehicle, which isn't going to happen in a tiny "almost" fender bender like this.....

f'n unreal....

if the pussy who zeke hit had been working the strip club valet the time I put my 650ci on its roof as i slid into the valet area (only to climb out, toss the keys to the guy and say "park it" and proceed into the club), no telling what he'd have said I'd done to him by rollin' the vehicle after hitting the ditch and flippin' over due to being wasted and on blow and trying to turn into da club parkin' lot at 70 mph..... fukker slid right into the valet, and came to rest right against that little box they keep all the keys in....
