Report: Judge rules Roger Goodell has to testify at Ray Rice hearing

Roger Goodell will be forced to testify at Ray Rice's hearing, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

A judge came down with the ruling on Wednesday that will see the commissioner testify at the appeal hearing on Nov. 5 and 6. 

Rice is seeking immediate reinstatement and has also reportedly filed a grievance against his former team, the Baltimore Ravens. 

He was originally suspended two games for striking his then fiancee, but once video of the incident was released, the suspension was made indefinite. 

The Player's Association filed an appeal on behalf of Rice saying the running back shouldn't be published twice.
