Former Washington Redskins Pro Bowl running back Clinton Portis is among 10 ex-NFL players accused Thursday of submitting false medical claims to the league’s health care program for retired players.

Federal prosecutors say the scheme involved submitting fraudulent invoices to the NFL Player Reimbursement Account for expensive medical equipment they never purchased.


In addition to Mr. Portis, charges were lodged against Carlos Rogers, Robert McCune, John Eubanks, Tamarick Vanover, Ceandris Brown, James Butler, Frederic Bennett, Correll Buckhlater and Etric Pruitt.
