Michael DeMocker/The Times-PicayuneThe NFLPA is appealing the ruling against Deuce McAllister, Will Smith and Charles Grant.
The union filed its notice of appeal Wednesday with the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The players association wants the appeals court to reconsider a judge’s dismissal last week of a lawsuit filed by the union on behalf of Vikings star defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams, and New Orleans Saints’ Charles Grant and Will Smith, and Deuce McAllister, the Saints’ career rushing leader, who was released by New Orleans after last season but hopes to find another team for the upcoming season.
