Related Topics: spine, University of Notre Dame

Former Notre Dame linebacker Douglas Randolph is suing the university and coach Brian Kelly for negligence, claiming he was not allowed to see results from a spinal scan that would have stopped him from playing during the 2015 season, according to Mark Alesia and Laken Litman of The Indy Star.

Randolph alleges he was a hit in a September practice and "suffered numbness in his upper extremities," but former trainer Rob Hunt ignored his complaint, taking Randolph out of practice for two minutes before sending him back to full participation, according to The Indy Star.
