Judging from our newest RB, sometimes the ACL just goes away…

Lewan is definitely near the top of my list of guys I would love to beat the fuck out of with my bare hands if one day I happen to wake up and find myself to have grown to be 6'5 and yoked.

Very possible that it did.  There's no guarantees but the #1 reason the Titans moved on was health.  

In terms of financial damages, Lewan got paid for 2022.  So he's going to have to argue that the botched surgery cost him money in 2023 and beyond.

I knew a guy who walked on at UT who had the same thing happen.

Having practiced civil litigation for 7 years now, he will certainly be able to find experts who will say the surgery was botched, it shortened his playing career, and the NPV of his damages from missed future earnings are “X”. You can pretty much find an expert for everything.

Is the team at risk?  Do they recommend the doctor or does the player decide and insurance just covers it?

 

And lol at him wait until after free agency and the draft..... Guess he's getting the hint that he's not that in demond.

Man I really wish this was filed in Tennessee so I could pull all the pleadings. my recollection is he had his surgery done by a specialist in LA. So I would imagine any lawsuit is filed there. 

Wouldn't it be outside SOL in TN? 3 SOR for reasonable discovery?
