A Manhattan jury awarded a former New York Giants running back with a potentially record-setting verdict against the estate of a doctor who the player says ended his career by failing to fully repair injuries he suffered from a tackle during a 2014 game.
Following a trial that stretched over three weeks, a jury of three women and three men awarded $28.5 million for Michael Cox, who the Giants drafted in 2013 and waived two years later while he was still in a four-year, $2.3 million contract with the team.
