Kelci Stringer the widow of former Viking Lineman Korey Stringer reached a settlement in her wrongful death lawsuit against the NFL. Stringer died at training camp in 2001 of heat stroke.
Kelci Stringer had filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the league, claiming the NFL hadn't done enough to ensure that equipment used by players protected them from injuries or deaths caused by heat-related illnesses.
"We were able to find what we feel is a very fair settlement that helped us move to the next step," said James Gould, a spokesman for the family who also was Korey Stringer's agent.
Under an agreement with Kelci Stringer, the NFL will support her efforts to create a heat illness prevention program. No other details of the settlement were revealed.
