Former Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is filing a claim on his $10 million insurance policy, according to USA Today.

The claim can be paid out as soon as Oct. 20, exactly one year after Finley had spinal fusion surgery that put his career in doubt. Finley was injured after a helmet-to-helmet hit against the Cleveland Browns.

The insurance company could challenge Finley’s claim.

According to the report, Finley’s policy does not prevent him from attempting an NFL comeback.

In 2011 and 2012, Finley compiled 116 receptions for 1,434 yards with 10 touchdowns. Before being injured last season, Finley had 25 catches for 300 yards with three touchdowns.
