NFL Files Grievance Against NFLPA Over Injury Advice; Union Denies Claim

NFL filed a grievance alleging the players' union advised running backs to fake or exaggerate injuries during contract talks.
The NFL is seeking an order for the union to cease such conduct, but the union called the claim "ridiculous."
The complaint accuses NFLPA president JC Tretter of recommending feigning injuries during a formal Zoom call.
Tretter's past comments may be used against him; depressed RB market led stars to holdouts and demands.
The NFLPA represents players in negotiations; tensions surround RB contracts as market depresses salaries.
