Longtime Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan has filed a lawsuit against the doctors who performed his ACL surgery in October 2020.
Lewan announced the news on his Bussin with the Boys podcast as well as on Twitter.
“There have been a lot of questions regarding the future of my career in the NFL,” Lewan wrote on Twitter. “Although this doesn’t answer every question, I believe it’s important for you all to know what’s transpired since my ACL Surgery in October of 2020.
“I have filed a lawsuit alleging that the doctor/entities who did my surgery during the 2020 season did it incorrectly.”

Lewan did not elaborate further, citing the legal process as the reason for him having to keep quiet.
After suffering the season-ending knee injury in Week 5 of the 2020 season, Lewan returned to start 13 games for the Titans in 2021.
However, he played in only two games in 2022 and was released this February. The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowler remains unsigned.
