Panthers DE Greg Hardy's domestic assault trial postponed
CHARLOTTE (WTVD) -- Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy will be off the active roster a little while longer now that his domestic violence case has been postponed.
WSOC-TV reports that Hardy's trial has been continued from Nov. 17 until early 2015.
The Panthers announced in September that they placed Hardy on the exempt-commissioner's permission list, meaning the Pro Bowl defensive end has been removed from the team's active roster until his domestic violence case is resolved.
Hardy was convicted on July 15 of assault on a female and communicating threats after the victim claimed the 6-foot-4, 275-pound player threw her in the bathtub and onto a sofa covered with guns before threatening to kill her. Hardy is appealing the ruling.
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman has said Hardy is continuing to be paid, and is allowed to be at the team facility, but will not at practice.
