MIAMI — The former Miami Dolphins offensive line coach implicated in the team’s 2013 bullying scandal has filed a lawsuit against Ted Wells, the NFL’s lead investigator into the case.

Assistant coach Jim Turner was fired five days after Wells released a report on his investigation in early 2014. The suit was filed against Wells and his Delaware law firm.

According to the suit, the defendants’ false and misleading statements have caused Turner “significant psychological and emotional pain and suffering.” He seeks damages in an amount to be determined at trial.

In the Dolphins case, Wells found that guard Richie Incognito and two teammates engaged in persistent harassment directed at tackle Jonathan Martin. Turner didn’t attempt to stop the harassment and even took part in some of the taunting, Wells’ report said.
