The NFL and NFL Players Association concealed a grievance ruling concerning former NFLPA president JC Tretter’s suggestion for players to fake injuries to avoid practice. The ruling deemed Tretter’s advice irrelevant, emphasizing that players can always cite genuine conditions they endure to justify their absence from practice or games, a strategy that players like Terry McLaurin, Trey Hendrickson, and Micah Parsons might consider as they navigate contract disputes.
