Retired, star running back Clinton Portis and a group of 82 other ex-pro-football players have sued the National Football League (NFL), arguing that it failed to protect them from concussions and other head injuries. Portis, who spent nine seasons with the Washington Redskins, is listed as the lead plaintiff in the suit, which was filed in the US District Court of Souther Florida on Tuesday. Other notable plaintiffs include three-time pro-bowl quarterback Daunte Culpepper, best known for his time with the Minnesota Vikings, and standout Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams.
