In a recent development, six former NFL players involved in the NFL concussion lawsuit filed notices of voluntary dismissal without prejudice. The notices were filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The players included former L.A. Rams and Houston Oilers offensive guard Kent Hill, former Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, and Pittsburg Steelers tight end Anthony “Tony” Cline Jr.; former Baltimore Colts, New Orleans Saints, and Miami Dolphins linebacker Edward Simonini; former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Randy Ragon; former Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots linebacker Mervin Krakau; and former Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills defensive end Arthur Still.
These players’ lawsuits make up just a small portion of a much larger, multi-district group of lawsuits against the NFL brought by more than 5,000 retired players.
