LAS VEGAS - A strip club manager paralyzed in a triple shooting is suing the NFL, the Tennessee Titans and suspended player Adam 'Pacman' Jones, claiming they are responsible for his injuries.
Tommy Urbanski seeks unspecified damages in the lawsuit, which was filed Friday in Clark County District Court.

'The fact that the NFL and the Titans did not punish Adam 'Pacman' Jones until after Tommy was paralyzed is a proximate cause of Tommy's injuries,' said Matthew Dushoff, Urbanski's attorney.

Jones' attorney, Robert Langford, denied the cornerback had any responsibility for the man's injuries.

'There's no basis in fact for suing the NFL and the Titans,' Langford said.

Jones faces two felony charges alleging he incited a melee and threatened to kill people inside the club. No one has been charged in the shooting.

BRONCOS: Receiver Javon Walker could miss six weeks after surgery on his right knee, and cornerback Champ Bailey (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision Sunday night against Pittsburgh.

COWBOYS: Suspended defensive tackle Tank Johnson practiced for the first time, but he can't play until Nov. 11.

EAGLES: Right tackle Jon Runyan is expected to make his 184th consecutive start Sunday despite bruising his tailbone in a training room fall.

RAVENS: Linebacker Ray Lewis has an injured knee and will be a game-time decision Sunday against Buffalo.

TITANS: Quarterback Vince Young (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision Sunday against Houston.
