Bills defensive tackle Corey Liuget was suspended in 2018 for games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. On Tuesday, reports surfaced that Liuget settled a lawsuit he opened in regard to that matter.
Liuget was originally seeking $15 million in damages from Ian Danney, a former trainer of his. The 29-year-old defender alleged that Danney injected him with what the trainer called an “over-the-counter anti-inflammatory” two days before Liuget failed the drug test in 2017.
Brent Schrotenboer of USA Today reports that a notice in California federal court showed that the case had been resolved. Terms of the settlement were not released. The trail was set to begin on Feb. 4.
Known more as a run stuffer, Liuget played eight years for the Chargers before signing with the Raiders before the 2019 season. Once released by the Raiders, he eventually latched on with the Bills, appearing in seven games, recording one sack, four tackles for loss and 10 total tackles. Liuget is a pending free agent.
