Fred Taylor says NFL doctors neglected to tell him about injuries

Former NFL running back Fred Taylor wrote a series of tweets on Wednesday claiming team doctors overlooked his injuries throughout his 13-year career.

Taylor said he had 11 MRIs and 12 X-rays last week. The tests revealed that he played with a fractured clavicle and two partially torn labrum.

Taylor said this information was never disclosed to him as a player.

“Seems the ‘neutral doctors’ we are referred to by the league overlooked the injuries and issues I currently deal with,” Taylor wrote.

Visited Chicago last week for full Ortho exam. Took 11 MRIs and 12 X-rays.
