The 46-page document pledges that: " No Race Norms or Race Demographic Estimates - whether Black or White - shall be used in The Settlement Program going forward. "
Around 1,435 Players , many of whom Are black, will now be given the chance to have their tests rescored, or in some cases, seek a new round of cognitive testing.
A panel of experts will also develop a new standard that will apply to all future tests under the scheme, any claims that have Not Yet been ruled on, and all claims that Are currently on appeal.

However of the roughly 2,000 men who have applied for dementia awards under the scheme, just 30% have been approved.
Two former black Players , Kevin Henry and Najeh Davenport , who were refused payouts under the scheme, launched a civil lawsuit.
But a judge dismissed the lawsuit in March and ordered the NFL to negotiate a Settlement .
