Four Retired Professional Football Players Sue NFL for Alleged Brain Damage

Dorsey Levens and Jamal Lewis, both named to the annual All-Star Pro Bowl, as well as Fulton Kuykendall and Ryan Stewart, filed the lawsuit against the National Football League and NFL Properties LLC on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
The suits are the latest in a series filed against the NFL in recent months by former players who say the league did not do enough to protect them from concussions.
The Atlanta suit alleges the NFL knew as early as the 1920s of the potential for concussions but only made them public in 2010.
