NFL Alleges NFLPA's Role in Running Backs Faking Injuries for Negotiating Advantage

The NFL has filed a grievance against the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), accusing the union of advising running backs to fake injuries as a negotiating tactic to breach their contracts. The NFL claims that this advice violates the collective bargaining agreement. The NFLPA has denied the allegations, and the review process is ongoing. Several high-profile running backs have faced contract disputes this offseason, with many failing to secure multiyear extensions.
