The Baltimore Ravens have released running back Ray Rice.

The NFL team announced it had terminated Rice’s contract this afternoon.

The news comes hours after TMZ released a grainy video that apparently shows Rice and Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing.

An earlier TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2.

The NFL suspended Rice for two games in July for domestic violence.

An NFL spokesman said the league had not seen the new video until today.
