Ravens fans line up to exchange Ray Rice jerseys
Thousands of Ravens fans showed up to return their Ray Rice jerseys at M&T Bank Stadium on Friday in Baltimore.
In the wake of Rice's domestic violence scandal, the team is accepting all officially licensed jerseys that were purchased at an official team store or through the team's website. Fans can receive a new jersey of another Ravens player on a first-come, first-served basis.

The jersey exchange will continue through Saturday.
Rice was cut by the Ravens last week after a video surfaced showing Rice punching his then-fiancee, now-wife Janay Palmer in an Atlantic City casino elevator earlier this year. Previously, the NFL had suspended Rice for two games, but the league suspended him indefinitely after the video was published by TMZ.
The jersey exchange is similar to an exchange held by the New England Patriots after tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested on a murder charge last year.
