Former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd is set to bring a lawsuit against Dr. James Andrews for his handling of Floyd’s 2016 knee surgery.
According to ESPN, Floyd is expected to file the lawsuit in a Florida court today with Andrews, the Andrews Institute for Orthopedic Surgery and several others named as defendants.
The surgery in question was supposed to be an arthroscopic procedure that would normally require just three or four weeks of recovery. Instead, the lawsuit alleges that when the procedure began, the doctors determined that Floyd needed micro fracture surgery.
