As first reported by The MMQB’s Albert Breer, former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd has filed a $180 million medical malpractice lawsuit against famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews, the Andrews Institute for Orthopedic Surgery, Gulf Breeze Hospital and eight other defendants. The 27-year-old Floyd, who hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2016, charges that he suffered debilitating muscle and nerve damage in the aftermath of an unpermitted knee surgery at the Andrews Institute in Pensacola in September 2016.
