David Givens Suing Titans

((HT: WTVF/Nashville))

Former wide receiver David Givens has filed a lawsuit against the Tennessee Titans, alleging the team played him without telling him about a horribly damaged knee.

In week 10 of the 2006 season, Givens was injured on a play that he said changed his life and ended his career. The play came against the Baltimore Ravens early in the 4th quarter. Givens ran 7 yards off the line-of-scrimmage, moved to change direction on his left leg and collapsed.

Doctors carted Givens off the field, and he never returned.

The lawsuit claims the injury could have been prevented.

"His knee just exploded on him. He's had multiple surgeries, and it can't be fixed so that he can play football again,"
said attorney Dan Warlick.

Warlick has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit on behalf of Givens against the Titans.

Chris Bungard and Joe Dubin have team coverage that ends with a very pissed off Jeff Fisher. Fisher addresses the idea that WTVF-TV ran a soundbite out of context from 2006 when initially reporting the story back then...
