On December 21, 2011, Pope, McGlamry, Kilpatrick, Morrison & Norwood, P.C. filed suit on behalf of four former players in Federal Court in Atlanta, Georgia against the NFL, accusing the league of misleading them regarding the long term effects of concussions. The four players, Jamal Lewis, Dorsey Levens, Fulton Kuykendall, and Ryan Stewart, each suffer memory loss, headaches, and sleeplessness as a result of multiple and repeated brain injuries during their playing days. It is anticipated that more suits will be filed in the near future.
