Daily News | A former Eagles captain is suing his doctors in Philly court over a career-ending knee injury
injury and recovery are at the crux of the lawsuit.Months after announcing his retirement from the NFL, Maragos sued his doctors — including Pittsburgh-based orthopedic surgeon James Bradley,
After tearing his posterior cruciate ligament in a 2017 game against the Carolina Panthers, Maragos went to Bradley for repair surgery on the ligament. But lawyers for the former Eagle argue that that surgeon ignored a second injury in Maragos’ knee: a torn meniscus. Because of this, Maragos’ attorneys argue he “suffered severe and permanent injuries, great pain and anguish in both mind and body,” and was stopped from playing professional football, which led to loss of earnings.
Before Common Pleas Judge Charles J. Cunningham III, Rassias, sporting a Kelly green tie, described Maragos as the “ultimate overachiever” and a “kid who worked like a dog every step of the way ... nobody handed him one single thing.”Attorneys for Bradley and Rothman said the doctors were well aware of Maragos’ meniscus issue, among others in his knee, but that it would have been irresponsible and more disruptive to perform additional surgeries on the standout safety.
