Former Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy has filed an injury grievance against the team that released him, according to Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com.
Levy suffered a torn meniscus at the beginning of the 2016 season, and the organization cleared him physically in March even though three other doctors said his knee wasn't healthy.
The linebacker said the Lions released him the day after clearing him and that he still isn't healthy. Rothstein noted he was forced to undergo a second surgery in April.
Levy described the circumstances surrounding his team physical, which he thought was just a follow-up:
"I figured there was something wrong because they passed me on a physical when I couldn't even sit down to a chair or get into a linebacker stance at the time," Levy said.
