NFL will seek to eliminate extra hurdles for Black players from concussion settlement

Former NFL players Ken Jenkins, right, and Clarence Vaughn III, center right, along with their wives, Amy Lewis, center, and Brooke Vaughn, left, carry petitions demanding equal treatment for everyone involved in the settlement of concussion claims against the NFL, to the federal courthouse in Philadelphia, in this Friday, May 14, 2021, file photo.

The league proposed changes to the $1 billion settlement after an outcry over test score adjustments known as "race-norming," which make it harder for retired Black players to win dementia awards.
