Former LSU running back and Heisman Trophy finalist Charles Alexander filed a concussion-related lawsuit against the NFL on Wednesday, as first reported by NFLConcussionLitigation.   Alexander, a Galveston native, filed the litigation in the southern district of Texas. Former NFL players Gregory Lafleur and Lavantha Lathon are listed as co-plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The lawsuit asserts charges of negligence, fraud, fraudulent concealment, negligent misrepresentation and conspiracy. 
  “The NFL has consistently misrepresented and concealed medical evidence on this issue through its handpicked committee of unqualified physicians who were ostensibly looking into this issue,” said Christopher Johns, Alexander’s attorney, in the lawsuit.   Alexander spent seven years in the NFL playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. In the lawsuit, it states that Alexander suffered several concussions was never warned of the dangers of returning to play too quickly.   He retired from the NFL in 1985, and the lawsuit states that Alexander suffers from numerous health ailments, including migraine headaches, sleeping problems, dizziness, loss of short-term memory, depression, blurred vision and hearing problems.   Alexander’s lawsuit is the 39th concussion-related lawsuit to be filed against the NFL and will be joined with multi-district litigation in Philadelphia.
