The NFL filed a grievance against the NFL Players Association, alleging that union leaders, including President JC Tretter, above, have advised running backs to "consider feigning or exaggerating injuries" to help increase their leverage in contract negotiations.
Any player who took the union's advice and faked an injury would be violating the collective bargaining agreement, the league argued. The league's grievance seeks for the union to "cease and desist from such improper conduct as well as other remedies that the arbitrator may deem appropriate." Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has been involved in a contract dispute and was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start the season because he's recovering from off-season ankle surgery.Tretter spoke openly about the contract issues running backs are facing on former NFL player Ross Tucker's podcast in July.
