The suit alleges the NFL was aware of the risks of repetitive traumatic brain injury but hid the information and misled players, resulting in permanent brain damage of neurological disorders.
According to the suit, Rypien “suffers from various neurological conditions and symptoms related to the multiple head traumas.”
