NFL reaches agreement to end 'race norming' in $1B concussion settlement

Months after vowing to end the practice of "race norming" in the league's $1 billion concussion settlement, the NFL reached a legal agreement Wednesday to do so.

A 46-page agreement between the NFL and retired NFL players was posted on a U.S. District Court online docket in Philadelphia — apparently mistakenly — detailing the deal. The Washington Post reports that the document was later removed as it still needs to undergo review by a judge.

An attorney for ex-players Kevin Henry and Najeh Davenport confirmed that the plaintiffs agreed to the deal in a statement provided to the Post.
