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.
The new Rice report comes just days after ESPN's "Outside The Lines" said "purposeful misdirection" was conducted by the Ravens investigation during the investigation.
The Ravens later told BuzzFeed News the "Outside The Lines" report contained "numerous errors, inaccuracies, false assumptions and, perhaps, misunderstandings." To which ESPN responded by saying "we stand by our reporting."
