Ray Rice has arrived for his appeal hearing at the offices of former United States District Judge Barbara S. Jones in New York.

The hearing begins nearly two months after the former Pro Bowl running back was suspended indefinitely by the National Football League (NFL) and released by the Baltimore Ravens.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, league security chief Jeffery Miller, Ravens President Dick Cass and Rice are among the key witnesses expected to testify in the two-day hearing. Rice’s wife, Janay, might testify.

Rice was suspended indefinitely Sept. 8 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after a video of him hitting his then-fiancee was released publicly. Goodell originally had suspended the running back for two games. The incident occurred inside an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. The couple married a month later.
