Former NFL players Jamal Lewis, Dorsey Levens, Fulton Kuykendall and Ryan Stewart say in a federal lawsuit that brain injuries have left them struggling with medical problems years after their playing days ended. The players filed the lawsuit against the National Football League and FNL Properties LLC this week in U.S. District Court in Atlanta. The players maintain the NFL knew as early as the 1920s of the potential for concussions to harm its players. They argue the league concealed the dangers from coaches, trainers, players and the public until June 2010, when it publicly acknowledged the health threats and warned players and teams.

KFFL has learned the Philadelphia Eagles may bring RB Dorsey Levens, who was just released, back on roster following the first game of the regular season. If they had him on roster on opening day, his salary for the season would be guaranteed.

With injuries at linebacker, the Eagles were forced to keep seven on the active roster and that helped make Levens expendable entering Week 1.

I'm at the point in my career where I've done a lot. I'm not playing because I have to play. I'm playing because I love the game. And I didn't come here to be a cheerleader."
Fri, 05 Sep 2003 08:25:01 -0700

Tara Sullivan, of the Bergen Record, reports New York Giants RB Delvin Joyce was the team's leading rusher in the Thursday, Aug. 28 pre-season finale against the Baltimore Ravens, gaining 60 yards on 17 carries and scoring a touchdown. He already has an important role because of his value as a return specialist and cover man on special teams, abilities neither Giants RB Ron Dayne nor Dorsey Levens possess. By proving to Giants head coach Jim Fassel he also can function on offense, Joyce made the coach's decision easier. "I just needed to look at who the next-most productive guy is and at that point in time, it doesn't matter where they were drafted, how long they've been with us, or what money they make," Fassel said. "It's the best guy who's going to play. You can't argue with his production. He's looked extremely good on the run, pass, pass protection, and return ability."
Wed, 27 Aug 2003 17:19:54 -0700
Giants.com's Michael Eisen reports New York Giants RBs Dorsey Levens and Ron Dayne have yet to establish themselves as the top backup to starter Tiki Barber, so they should get plenty of playing time to show what they can do during the team's final pre-season game.

Tara Sullivan, of the Bergen Record, reports New York Giants RB Dorsey Levens is RB Tiki Barber's primary backup for the Saturday, Aug. 23 pre-season game against the New York Jets. Giants RB Ron Dayne filled that role the first two games as Levens protected a sore hamstring. Though both players will be on the team, they are likely playing for the right to be active on game days. "I want to play Dorsey a lot more so he will get the next set (after Tiki)," Giants head coach Jim Fassel said. "I want to see him stay in there for a while."
Mon, 18 Aug 2003 06:25:25 -0700
Updating previous reports, Michael Eisen, of Giants.com, reports the New York Giants backup running back spot between RB Dorsey Levens and RB Ron Dayne has not yet been decided. "I'd like to have it a little bit more defined, but we'll be all right," coach Jim Fassel said. "We'll get a lot of looks at them these next couple of games. I'll play the first unit three quarters. But there will be some guys coming out, and one of them will be Tiki. I don't plan on playing him that full time, because I want to get a look at other running backs, and Tiki's in pretty good shape."
