Josh Lambo filed a lawsuit against the team on Tuesday, claiming that former head coach Urban Meyer created a hostile work environment and is seeking more than $3.5 million in lost salary and additional damages.

The lawsuit in the 4th Judicial Circuit Court in Duval County alleges that Lambo's performance suffered after he was verbally and physically abused by Meyer.

Lambo alleged in a Dec. 15 Tampa Bay Times story that Meyer kicked him in the leg while he was stretching in warm-ups before a practice during the week of the final preseason game. Lambo said Meyer told him, "Hey Dips---, make your f---ing kicks!" and then kicked him in the leg. 

Lambo characterized the kick as a five out of 10 and then told the newspaper he told Meyer: "Don't you ever f---ing kick me again!" Lambo said Meyer told him, "I'm the head ball coach. I'll kick you whenever the f--- I want."

Lambo earned $14,000 as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad last season after being cut by the Jaguars. The Jaguars fired Meyer shortly before 1 a.m. ET on Dec. 16 after just 13 games.
