The 54-page document filed Wednesday by the NFLPA in a Minnesota federal court does not include a request for an injunction allowing Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to continue playing while the litigation proceeds. But, as noted earlier today, it’s coming.
At page 13 (paragraph 28) of the document, the NFLPA says that the late issuance of a decision upholding Brady’s suspension “will irreparably harm” the quarterback if he misses games while the case proceeds.
“Accordingly,” the NFLPA writes, “the NFLPA and Brady will shortly file a Motion for Preliminary Injunction or, in the Alternative, for Expedited Disposition so that relief can be granted prior to September 4, 2015, when the Patriots begin final preparations for their first regular season game.
