Photos showing injuries to Greg Hardy’s ex-girlfriend surface
Hardy had three tackles and a sack that ended a Philadelphia drive late in the third quarter.
On Saturday, Hardy expresses regret over the incident while not commenting on his guilt or innocence.
Hardy originally was convicted of assault, but the verdict was thrown out on appeal after Holder stopped cooperating.
Jones said the team hadn’t seen the photos before signing Hardy to an incentive-laden $13 million free agent contract in March, but the Cowboys “were and are aware of the serious nature of this incident”.
Hardy was suspended four games this season for the incident, and missed all but one game last season, when he was with the Carolina Panthers.
The Cowboys declined NBC’s request to speak with Jerry Jones and Greg Hardy. His initial punishment from the league was a 10-game suspension, and combined with the decrease in time off, his charges of domestic violence were also erased. “We take the issue very, very, very seriously”, Garrett said. Hardy said she was drunk and fell down, according to Rapoport. Moderator Hannah Storm, to her credit, asked him if he’d read the police report and Smith admitted he had. Friday, Deadspin published photos showing injuries Hardy inflicted to ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder in May 2014. It’s obvious because owner/G.M. Jerry Jones already has made it clear that the photos have no impact on the team’s attitude toward Hardy.
“We requested and obtained investigative material from the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD), including photos they had”, McCarthy said.
The statement continued, “We entered into the agreement with Greg fully understanding that there would be scrutiny and criticism”. Rice, who continues to train in case he gets that long-awaited opportunity to play again, said that he has been talking to young players about not making the same mistakes he did and that he’d like “to do something with the NFL” to help spread that message.

Do you think after the Greg Hardy pictures revelation the Dallas Cowboys should release the defensive back?
