EA Sports is expected to remove former-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice from Madden 15, according to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports.

Citing sources, Garafolo tweeted that EA Sports will remove Rice from the Ravens' roster and will not make him available in free agent pools. The change will be made via the next round of tuning updates, which are used to adjust discrepancies in game-play and update rosters.

The last tuning update came on Sept. 5 in preparation of the NFL's first week of games. Updates included the final 53-man rosters and an adjustment to pass rush tuning.

Rice's contract was terminated by the Ravens on Monday after video footage surfaced of him striking his then-fiancée, Janay Palmer. Palmer was knocked unconscious as a result of the assault. In addition, Rice was indefinitely suspended by the NFL in the hours after his release.

EA Sports has not yet made an announcement about the decision and has yet to respond to inquiries for comment.
