The N.F.L. ended its seven-year fight with insurance companies that had refused to cover the costs of the league’s more than $1 billion settlement reached in 2013 with retired players found to have cognitive and neurological problems.
The two sides settled for an undisclosed amount, according to a filing in the New York State Supreme Court.
The settlement all but ends one of the last attempts to find out what the league knew about the effects of concussions and repeated head hits, and what it kept from the retired players, who filed a series of lawsuits in 2011.
