Several NFL players granted restraining order to return to college football
A Louisiana judge granted a temporary restraining order allowing several players currently on NFL rosters, including Dae'Quan Wright and Wydett Williams, to return to college football for an additional year of eligibility. The legal action is part of a broader lawsuit involving over 100 athletes challenging recent NCAA eligibility rule changes that excluded players who were seniors in 2025. In response, the NCAA criticized the court decisions, arguing that allowing professional athletes to treat collegiate sports as a fallback option destabilizes college athletics and deprives newer student-athletes of roster opportunities.
