Last December 26-year-old Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry died when he was thrown out of a truck driven by his girlfriend. Later examination of the young NFL star found brain damage, usually only seen in the older players with many years (and concussion) under their belts.
The traumatic brain injury in the young victorious athlete head was shocking to doctors.
In fact, Henry is the youngest player ever to be diagnosed with chronic post traumatic encephalopathy (ATA), a certain type of degenerative disease caused by individuals who have been harmed, repeated concussions and other head injuries on display.
There are several high-profile instances of former NFL players, later found to ATA, who have died or committed suicide. the disease can affect mood, memory and mood.It can give severe headaches that sufferers with exposure to light,. some are confused and depressed after suffering of wild mood swings.
Number of active players are still, are sufficiently informed when it comes to the danger of ATA and it affects the possibilities. some have cast doubt on the NFL's commitment to the pursuit of a solution to something that definitely way to of the brutal intensity of the game would take.
Still, NFL executives take players to enhance the protection and the consequences of the head and brain injuries to better understand. in June, the NFL held a joint conference with the Johns Hopkins University focused on traumatic brain injury.
