Ravens to Honor Former Player Ray Rice, a Decade After Domestic Violence Incident

Despite controversy, the franchise recognizes Rice's redemption and his work to educate others on domestic violence.

Ray Rice, former Baltimore Ravens running back, will be honored by the franchise at Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, nearly a decade after a domestic violence incident resulted in his release from the team.
Rice was released by the Ravens in 2014 after footage of him assaulting his then-fiancée, now wife, was made public. He was later reinstated by the NFL, but no team ever signed him.
Rice has since expressed remorse for his actions and has worked to bring awareness to and educate others on domestic violence.
Rice played his entire six-year career in Baltimore from 2008-13, made three Pro Bowls and was part of Super Bowl XLVII championship squad.
Since Rice's incident, the NFL has handed out 24 suspensions for violating the league's personal conduct policy over the last 10 years.
