Pro Football Hall Of Famer Dan Marino Is Suing The NFL Over Concussions

dan marinoFormer Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino and 14 other former football players have filed a federal lawsuit against the NFL over concussions, The Los Angeles Times reports.

The litigation comes along with hundreds of other lawsuits related to concussions sustained during pro-football games. Plaintiffs allege that the NFL misled players and hid information about football-related brain injuries, according to The Times. The NFL denies the claims.

The plaintiffs' complaint states: "On information and belief, the Plaintiff … sustained repetitive, traumatic sub-concussive and/or concussive head impacts during NFL games and/or practices."

Earlier this year, a judge rejected a proposed $765 million settlement that would have covered all retired NFL players. The judge said she feared the settlement wouldn't be enough. The league is still working with plaintiffs to get a version of the settlement approved.
