The NFL are reportedly discussing the possibility of intervening in the domestic violence case surrounding Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy.
Hardy was arrested on charges of assault back in May, although there are conflicting reports on what occurred, with the 26-year-old's attorney arguing that his client was attacked.
The Panthers star was found guilty by a judge in July, but the case will be tried again in front of a jury in November with Hardy possibly facing 60 days in jail and 18 months' probation, NFL.com reports.
Carolina deactivated Hardy for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions, although coach Ron Rivera has told reporters this week that he has yet to decide whether or not he will play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
