The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Lawrence Tynes reached a settlement on Feb. 10 stemming from a lawsuit the former kicker filed against the team after he contracted MRSA, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Greg Auman.
Tynes' suit, which was filed in April 2015, asserted unsanitary conditions at the team's facility resulted in him being diagnosed with MRSA.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but Auman reported Tynes initially sued the Buccaneers for $20 million.
News of Tynes' settlement comes nearly three years after the Buccaneers paid offensive lineman Carl Nicks $3 million as part of an injury settlement after he dealt with MRSA, according to ESPN.
