Steve Wilks and Ray Horton, two former NFL coaches, joined Brian Flores’s lawsuit against the NFL on Thursday.
On Feb. 1, Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL, three of its franchises—Giants, Broncos and Dolphins—and 29 “John Doe” teams, accusing the league of racial discrimination in its hiring practices. In joining the complaint, Wilks and Horton cited their own experiences in the league.
Wilks was the Cardinals’ head coach during the 2018 season. According to The New York Times, he claims in the amended lawsuit that the team only hired him as a “bridge coach” and did not have long-term plans to keep him on the team.
