A Philadelphia jury ordered doctors to pay former Eagles special-teams captain Chris Maragos $43.5 million on Monday in a medical malpractice lawsuit related to treatment for a career-ending injury.
Maragos sued Dr. James Bradley and Rothman Orthopaedics Institute, alleging that they ignored meniscus damage while surgically repairing and rehabilitating a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee sustained in the 2017 season. Bradley performed the surgery and oversaw Maragos' rehab alongside Rothman Orthopaedics.
Bradley is a renowned Pittsburgh-based surgeon who previously served as the Steelers team surgeon and has operated on numerous athletes, including former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.
