CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Prosecutors in North Carolina have agreed to let the NFL see photographs from Greg Hardy's domestic violence trial as the league considers whether to suspend the defensive end who signed with Dallas last month.

An order filed Wednesday in a North Carolina court grants limited access to the NFL, the players association and attorneys for Hardy. The order says the photographs were provided by someone outside law enforcement. The NFL sued for access to them.

The photos were part of the state's evidence when the former Carolina player was convicted by a judge. The conviction was dismissed after the accuser couldn't be found to testify when Hardy requested a jury trial.

The Cowboys signed Hardy to a one-year deal based heavily on incentives.
