Former Browns receiver Joe Jurevicius, who returned to Cleveland in 2006 to try to help his beloved Browns win a Super Bowl, is suing the team, the Cleveland Clinic and two team physicians over a staph infection that most likely has ended his NFL career.
The suit (pdf), filed Friday in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, states that Jurevicius contracted a staph infection in his right knee because the Browns did not sterilize their Berea training facility properly and that the medical personnel, including the Clinic doctors, failed to warn him they weren’t taking proper precautions.
