A federal judge says a lawsuit over a staph infection contracted by former Cleveland Browns receiver Joe Jurevicius can go forward in a state court against the team and the Cleveland Clinic.
Jurevicius sued back in June of 2009 saying the team "misrepresented the cleanliness of its training facility." He also claimed doctors were negligent over a 2008 infection in his right knee.
Judge Solomon Oliver, Junior ruled six of Jurevicius' eight claims should be decided in a Cuyahoga County court. The judge dismissed the other two claims and said they should be handled through arbitration with the team and the National Football League.
The Browns had argued all eight claims should be dismissed and handled through arbitration. The clinic and its representatives/lawyers are not commenting.
Jurevicius career with the Browns ended in March of 2009.
Here's some 2007 highlights of Jurevicius catching passes when he was, presumably, on two good knees...
