Magicgames II » Former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif

Floyd has filed a lawsuit against famed orthopedist Dr. James Andrews and several other parties for alleged negligence during a 2016 knee surgery that caused career-ending complications http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-brett-favre-jersey , seeking at least $180 million for potentially lost earnings.Brad Sohn, an attorney for Floyd, confirmed Tuesday the complaint was filed in Orlando, Florida, in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court for Orange County. Sohn said he believes the case can be made for damages exceeding $200 million, when projecting career contract values for the NFL's premier defensive tackles.Floyd carried that potential, but he played in only 44 games, the last on Sept. 11, 2016."He's trying to figure out what's next for him in life," Sohn said. "That's not an easy thing, because he had no interest in ceasing to play football."Floyd was drafted by the Vikings out of Florida with the 23rd overall pick in 2013, and he became a full-time starter in his second season. Floyd missed three games in 2015 for cartilage cleanup in his left knee, which continued to bother him the following training camp after the Vikings exercised the fifth-year option on his contract. After playing in the 2016 season opener, Floyd needed a similar arthroscopic operation on the right knee.During that surgery Womens Stefon Diggs Jersey , Sohn said, doctors determined a more comprehensive procedure was necessary to help stimulate regrowth of Floyd's cartilage. After drilling into the knee bone, a post-operation pain blocker was injected into the nerve.Floyd's leg never fully recovered enough to be able to return to the field. He was placed on the non-football injury list before the 2017 season, after which his rookie contract expired."Sharrif is never going to play football again because of permanent nerve and muscle damage in and around his right knee and right lower leg. That was directly caused, we allege, from the nerve block," Sohn said. "The only reason it was even arguably necessary is because a far more significant surgery was performed than what had been represented to Sharrif. They told him he'd go in for a routine scope and be out a few weeks, and then they did a really complex procedure and required a significant pain intervention that ended his career."Andrews, two surgical fellows, an anesthesiologist, the hospital and the organizations associated with the doctors are named as defendants in the case."We strongly dispute Mr. Floyd's allegations and plan to vigorously defend this case. Unfortunately we are unable to comment further due to the pending nature of the litigation," said Candy McGuyre, corporate marketing director with Baptist Health Care in Pensacola, Florida. After selecting one player in each of the opening five rounds Chuck Foreman Jersey , the Minnesota Vikings were busy late, adding three players in the sixth round.General manager Rick Spielman kept it rolling into the seventh round and drafted Texas cornerback Kris Boyd (No. 217 overall), Oregon wide receiver Dillon Mitchell (No. 239), Colorado State wide receiver Olabisi Johnson (No. 247) and Air Force long snapper Austin Cutting.More Vikings NFL Draft coverageHow NFL draft affected Vikings’ 2019 opponentsMinnesota Vikings 2019 NFL Draft gradesMinnesota Vikings 2019 NFL draft capsulesVikings take fliers on CB Boyd, WR Mitchell, WR Johnson, LS Cutting in seventh roundVikings use sixth round to draft DT Watts, S Epps, OT UdohVikings draft USC linebacker Cameron Smith in fifth roundVikings trade up in fourth round, draft guard Dru SamiaVikings trade down four times, use third-round pick to select RB MattisonPotential Vikings Day 2 picks in 2019 NFL draftVikings select C Garrett Bradbury with 18th overall pick in 2019 NFL draftBoyd appeared in 51 games for the Longhorns and made 33 career starts.

Boyd is the second defensive back taken by Minnesota in 2019, joining Wyoming safety Marcus Epps (sixth round, No. 191).Mitchell is coming off a monster junior season in 2018 with the Ducks. He broke Oregon’s single-season program record and led the Pac-12 with 1,184 receiving yards on 75 receptions, scoring 10 touchdowns.

McDermott has been with the Vikings since 2015.The Vikings spent their first four picks on offensive players — center Garrett Bradbury (18th overall), tight end Irv Smith Jr. (second round), running back Alexander Mattison (third round) and guard Dru Samia (fourth round) — then added tackle Oli Udoh in the sixth round and the two receivers in the seventh.Minnesota addressed special teams with Cutting in the seventh round.Minnesota used four picks on defensive players — linebacker Cameron Smith (fifth round), along with Arkansas defensive tackle Armon Watts and Wyoming safety Marcus Epps in the sixth round and Boyd in the seventh.The 12-man draft class is Vikings’ biggest since the NFL began its seven-round draft format in 1994.
