Tyrod Taylor is suing LA Chargers team doctor David Gazzaniga for more than £4million after the quarterback was left with a punctured lung following treatment.
Taylor, 33, joined the Chargers back in 2019, but it was the following year when he picked up a rib injury and received treatment from Gazzaniga and the Newport Orthopedic Institute south of Los Angeles. However, according to Taylor, a pain-killer injection then went horribly wrong.
The now New York Giants player is claiming he suffered a lung puncture from the jab. His lawyers also allege Gazzaniga's "negligence, carelessness and other tortious, unlawful and wrong acts" led to the one time Super Bow l winner losing his place with the Chargers.
