Even though Ray Rice seemingly got a slap on the wrist for allegedly knocking his wife out at an Atlantic City casino, his case and countless others before it, have triggered the NFL to consider tougher domestic violence policies.

The NFL is planning to toughen standards in cases of domestic violence soon, according to a source with knowledge of the process, and is making it a priority by soliciting advice from experts in the field about a wholesale overhaul of its policy and practices.
The NFL is consulting with outside groups to revamp its approach on everything from education, training, assistance and enhanced discipline, which likely would be formally included in the personal conduct policy.
The league plans to move quickly on announcing and implementing the changes, possibly as early as next month.
