The NFL is investigating an advertisement for an adult film event in Miami that included the images of Chicago Bears safety Major Wright and other NFL players, according to an ABC TV report in Chicago.

Wright, Chargers draftee Corey Liuget -- who went to Illinois -- and other players appear in uniform in an advertisement for last month's Exxxotica Expo 2011, billed as the largest gathering of adult film stars.

"It's an intellectual property issue since the players were featured in their team jerseys," Brian McCarthy, NFL vice president of corporate communications, told ESPNChicago.com. "The NFL office works on behalf of the clubs to protect their intellectual property rights in matters such as this. Our legal team is reviewing the ad. In general, companies not affiliated with the NFL or its clubs may not depict a player in his uniform."

In addition to Wright, Eric Berry and Brandon Flowers were shown in their Chiefs uniforms as two of the hosts at the party May 20.

Also pictured on the flier were Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson and Raiders wide receiver Jacoby Ford, along with six photographs of the adult film stars.
