Suspended NFL player Ray Rice and his wife are set to testify before a federal judge in New York today, in Rice’s appeal of his indefinite suspension.

It was imposed after video surfaced of him punching his then-fiancee on an elevator. Rice, who also was kicked off the Baltimore Ravens, is fighting the suspension, saying he already had been punished when he was handed a two-game suspension.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell testified for more than two hours yesterday.

The two-day hearing is private.
