LOS ANGELES (AP) - Avengers defensive lineman Al Lucas died Sunday from a presumed spinal cord injury sustained while trying to make a tackle in Los Angeles' 66-35 victory over the New York Dragons.
Lucas was injured on a first-quarter kickoff return and taken to California Hospital. All attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, team physician Dr. Luga Podesta said in a statement.
John Kaleo completed 25 of 41 passes for 261 yards for Los Angeles (6-4), which canceled all postgame interviews.
