The NFL Players Association filed an appeal of the indefinite suspension on behalf of Ray Rice on Sept. 16.
Ray Rice will argue that the NFL extended his suspension "on the basis of an edited [TMZ] videotape," reported ESPN's Adam Schefter.

According to ESPN, "Legal sources told Schefter that the TMZ tape of Rice hitting his then-fiancee was a cleaned-up, whittled down and condensed version of the events that took place in the Atlantic City casino elevator."

Robert Mueller, the man appointed by the NFL to oversee the investigation of how the league handled the case, is expected to have access to the full elevator security video, sources also told ESPN.
Mueller was the director of the FBI from 2001 to 2013. He has also led the United States Department of Justice, working on cases involving such things as white-collar crime, financial fraud, terrorism, drugs, and corruption.
