NEW YORK - The NFL is suing Orlando Brown for $500,000, claiming the Baltimore Ravens' offensive tackle owes the league the money because he returned after receiving an injury settlement.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the suit was filed Tuesday.
Brown returned to the NFL last season with the Ravens after being out of football since Dec. 19, 1999 when he was hit in the eye with a penalty flag.
He reached a multi-million dollar injury settlement in 2000.
McCarthy said the settlement contained an agreement that Brown repay the money if he returned to the NFL.
