    On December 8, 2013, in Foxborough, Massachusetts, NFL football player Willis McGahee of the Cleveland Browns received medical attention off the field following an injury sustained during the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots. A possible class action complaint was filed in Baltimore on Thursday, February 9, 2023, by ten retired NFL players, including McGahee, accusing the league of lying, acting in bad faith, and flagrantly violating federal law by refusing disability compensation. On Thursday, March 21, 2024, a federal judge in Maryland denied the dismissal of a case filed against the NFL alleging egregious violations of the league’s disability plan by turning down legitimate claims.

    New York Jets safety Eric Smith (33) observes from the sidelines during the third quarter of an NFL preseason football game against the Houston Texans on Monday, August 15, 2011, in Houston. In a possible class action complaint filed Thursday, February 9, 2023, in Baltimore, eleven retired NFL players, including Smith, accused the league of lying, acting in bad faith, and violating federal law by refusing disability compensation. On Thursday, March 21, 2024, a federal judge in Maryland declined to dismiss a complaint alleging that the NFL flagrantly violated its disability plan by dismissing eligible claims.
    Suit: NFL runs 'sham' disability program for injured players

    Christopher Seeger, co-lead players’ lawyer, addresses the media after a hearing on the proposed NFL concussion settlement outside the United States Courthouse in Philadelphia on November 19, 2014. In a possible class-action complaint filed in Baltimore on Thursday, February 9, 2023, ten retired NFL players accuse the league of lying, acting in bad faith, and violating federal law by refusing disability compensation. On Thursday, March 21, 2024, a federal judge in Maryland declined to dismiss a complaint alleging that the NFL flagrantly violated its disability plan by dismissing eligible claims.
    A federal judge in Maryland has determined that a lawsuit against the NFL’s disability plan, which allegedly denied valid injury claims, can go to trial on most counts.

    A lawsuit filed last year accuses program officials of violating federal law and acting in bad faith. U.S. District Judge Julie R. Rubin ruled that the claim can proceed against the board, but not against Commissioner Roger Goodell or the trustees individually, because they were not accused of wrongdoing.

    Lawyers for the ten retired players who signed on to the possible class action termed Wednesday’s verdict “a huge win” for those who have faced “systemic injustice.”

    “We look forward to continuing to shine a light on the NFL’s betrayal, holding the plan fully accountable, and correcting this broken system so it is fair to players going forward,” lawyers Chris Seeger and Sam Katz said in a statement on Thursday.

    The board has six voting members, while Goodell serves as the non-voting chairperson. An NFL spokesman did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
