The Baltimore Ravens will honor former running back Ray Rice during Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, the team announced.
The team says they will honor Rice as their “Legend of the Game,” which recognizes a former player for their accomplishments both on and away from the field.
Rice played six seasons for the Ravens, from 2008-2013, and was a key part of Baltimore's Super Bowl-winning team in 2013.
Rice rushed for 6,180 yards and scored 70 touchdowns and also caught 369 passes for 3,064 yards in his career.
His career ended after he was suspended by the NFL in September 2014 after a video posted by TMZ.com showed Rice hitting his then then-fiancee in an Atlantic City elevator on Feb. 15, 2014.

"He was also consistently in the community, giving back. Importantly, after Ray's incident he owned it. On his own accord, Ray undertook critical work within himself and to bring awareness to and educate others on domestic violence," Ravens president Sashi Brown said. "Nothing will change his past or make it right, but Ray's work has allowed him to atone for his actions and rebuild relationships personally and professionally, including with the Ravens."
Since then, Rice has been involved in domestic violence awareness groups and coaches youth football. He and his wife now have two kids together.
"I knew it would be hard to forgive me, but the one thing I have been consistent with was that I was going to be better. I'm not going to be a victim of my past," Rice said, via the team's website. "My legacy won't be domestic violence. My legacy will be what I became after."
