Former Saints quarterback Adrian McPherson filed a lawsuit against the Titans in Davidson County Circuit Court on Friday, stemming from the Aug. 12 incident when he was run over by Titans mascot T-Rac.
The accident occurred in the preseason opener at LP Field, and McPherson is seeking $20 million in damages in the litigation $5 million in compensatory damages plus $15 million in punitive damages.
McPherson, a reserve quarterback and kick returner, missed the remainder of the preseason and was later released by the Saints with an injury settlement.
The lawsuit attempts to hold the Titans accountable for allowing "its mascot to operate motorized vehicles on the field while players are present."
The Titans, who have 30 days to answer the complaint, acknowledged the lawsuit but declined comment Monday.
"He was under contract to play with the Saints and was going to be much more for them than a third-string quarterback, but now he is not even on the team or in the league," said Christopher Taylor of the Memphis law firm representing McPherson. "He took an unconventional route to get to the NFL, but he was there. His knee remains a problem, but he is doing his best to rehab it."
