A Nevada judge Wednesday dismissed both the NFL’s efforts to dismiss former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden’s lawsuit or to force the matter into arbitration. That clears the way for a trial unless a settlement is reached.

The NFL says it will appeal. Gruden has accused the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell of selectively leaking his emails to force his removal last October. The emails, discovered in the workplace investigation of the Washington NFL franchise, included racist, anti-gay and misogynistic language.
