FILE - Pittsburgh Steelers senior defensive assistant Brian Flores, right, watches as the team goes through drills during an NFL football practice on May 31, 2022, in Pittsburgh. A judge on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022, quickened the time it will take to rule whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell gets to decide the merits of racial discrimination claims made by Black coaches against the league and its teams, saying that it appears an effort to gather more evidence is a try at “an impermissible fishing expedition.” Flores, who was fired in January as head coach of the Miami Dolphins and is now with the Steelers, filed the lawsuit in February.
