An arbiter reduced the suspension of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy on Friday from 10 games to four, but there could be another cleat to drop.
Hardy, who was found guilty of domestic violence a year ago, when he was a member of the Carolina Panthers, will probably challenge the four-game suspension in court. His representatives have indicated they will fight any punishment greater than two games, which was the penalty the league prescribed at the time before rules were amended.
The 10-game penalty was reduced by former NFL executive Harold Henderson, who was appointed to hear the appeal by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
