The National Football League, as has come to be expected in recent years, is once again being targeted by former players, their familes and others, in yet another lawsuit making its way through the courts, this time for the alleged misuse of painkillers, and the purported insistence that players take them to get back on the playing field faster, or risk being waived by their respective teams.
Pro Football Talk reported Sunday that this latest suit, after the first one was thrown out by the courts eighteen months ago, has now been modified, going after individual NFL teams, rather than the league itself.
