Since assault allegations against Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott surfaced Friday morning, Elliott himself has remained silent. Those on his side, though, are speaking out in his defense.

First, his agent's office told TMZ, "I can assure you [the allegations] are not true." Now, his father, Stacy Elliott, has released a statement defending his son, who denied the accusations when he spoke with police.

According to Elliott's father, his son did "nothing wrong." His statement, which comes via ESPN's Adam Schefter's Facebook page, in its entirety:

"The reported allegations and internet postings regarding our son are completely false. Ezekiel has done nothing wrong. The police have investigated this matter and eyewitnesses have verified the lack of any wrongdoing. The actual evidence in this matter clearly indicates what the real motivation was behind the police being called. We are confident that when the truth comes to light it will reveal the falsity of these claims. Ezekiel has been fully cooperative with the police and will continue to do so -- along with cooperating with the NFL -- moving forward."

The Cowboys have yet to release a statement on the matter, but ESPN's Josina Anderson provided a comment from a team source:

"The kid, we've done our research on him (before he became a Cowboy), it doesn't point to that (being) part of his nature. That's all I know." The source added, "There's been no history or anything like that."

The Star-Telegram reported something similar. According to Drew Davison, "The team believes the allegations are suspect and that Elliott had been trying to end a relationship."

Early Friday morning, Deadspin discovered that Elliott's reported ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Thompson, posted a series of photos to Instagram that appeared to show injuries sustained due to the alleged domestic abuse. Elliott was not arrested.

TMZ acquired a police report, which described the allegations that were made against Elliott:

The female accuser filed a report with the Columbus PD in Ohio Friday morning ... saying she was assaulted by Elliott -- who she claims is her former live-in boyfriend -- while sitting in the driver's seat of her parked vehicle.

The officers who responded to the scene say the woman claims she had pain in her wrist and a red mark -- but declined medical treatment.

Cops contacted Elliott -- who denied striking the woman. He also said he never lived with her.

...

According to the report, cops also spoke with 4 witnesses -- but they all told cops they didn't see an assault. One of the witnesses was in the car at the time of the alleged incident.

Deadspin then obtained the audio of the 911 call. In that call, the woman told the dispatcher that the accused had "been doing it for the past five days" and he hit her "all over."

Though Elliott wasn't arrested, the team should obviously be concerned by the serious allegations made against its No. 4 overall pick. Up to this point, the Cowboys and Elliott had enjoyed a successful start to their relationship, with members of the team talking up Elliott so much that they actually expressed belief that he would improve the defense, despite the fact that Elliott plays running back.

Star receiver Dez Bryant even said the team wouldn't haze Elliott like most rookies, because they were depending on him. Elliott hasn't played a single down in the NFL and he's already leading the league in jersey sales.

According to The Star-Telegram, the NFL will investigate if Elliott violated its personal conduct policy.
