Free agent tight end Jermichael Finley hasn't given up on playing again. But the former Green Bay Packers standout is moving forward with his backup plan.
Finley is filing a claim on his $10 million insurance policy, which can be paid out as soon as Oct. 20 – one year to the day after he suffered a scary injury that required spinal fusion surgery, a person with knowledge of Finley's thinking told USA TODAY Sports on Friday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Finley, 27, continues to work out 5 hours a day in Minneapolis and Wisconsin and wants to return to the NFL. But that's not a reality at this stage, despite progress shown through a series of MRIs and CAT scans since doctors fused his C-3 and C-4 vertebrae a month after his injury.
