According to a report by the New York Times, "The federal judge overseeing the case brought by thousands of former N.F.L. players who have accused the league of hiding the dangers of concussions ordered both sides to mediation Monday."

A retired judge will serve as mediator.

As noted by the Washington Times, there are 277 retired Green Bay Packers players as part of the lawsuit.
