Sharrif Floyd Sues Dr. James Andrews over Knee Surgery

Former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd appeared on his way to a promising career after he was the No. 23 pick of the 2013 draft, but he hasn't played since 2016 because of health issues and is suing Dr. James Andrews as a result.

According to Albert Breer of The MMQB, Floyd's lawyer, Brad Sohn, said his client will file a $180 million lawsuit against Andrews, the Andrews Institute for Orthopedic Surgery and others on Tuesday.

The suit says Floyd underwent an extensive surgical procedure even though he was told he was set for minor arthroscopic knee surgery that would sideline him for at most a month.
