NFL Concussion Settlement Approval Appealed: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

Several retired NFL players filed an appeal of the approved NFL concussion settlement Thursday. Their argument reportedly challenges the role of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the deal.

Daniel Kaplan of the Sports Business Journal first reported the news. Kaplan noted the retirees are unhappy with the argument about a lack of CTE information, and they state that if that's the case, then the disease should not be part of the settlement agreement.
