Court Sides with Titans in Legal Dispute over Wounded Knee

A federal judge from the Middle District of Tennessee has granted the Tennessee Titans’ motion to dismiss after a former player sued the NFL team for allegedly not disclosing a “defect” that was found in the plaintiff’s knee during an examination. The player later suffered an injury that was related to the defect, ending his career.   In ruling for the defendant Tennessee Football, Inc., the court found that David L. Givens claim was preempted by the Collective Bargaining Agreement
