(CNN)The Supreme Court cleared the way Monday for the NFL concussion settlement to go into effect by declining to take up two cases from a smaller subset of former players who challenged the terms of the agreement. The settlement was reached between the NFL and a class of more than 20,000 retired players. In legal briefs lawyers for the NFL called the settlement "historic" and said it provides "real, substantial, and immediate benefits to all class members, including an uncapped monetary fund through which any retired player who is diagnosed with a qualifying neurocognitive or neuromuscular impairment or condition can receive a financial award."
