ESPN.com – NFL – The Weekly Conversation: Dan Morgan
Bensinger: How about the long-term ramifications of multiple concussions?
Morgan: You hear stories like Ted Johnson, Andre Waters [the brain damage he suffered during his football career led to depression which contributed to his suicide], and Muhammad Ali. I’ve heard pretty much everything. I think my case is a little different because I’ve never been just totally knocked out on a field. I’m definitely aware of concussions and what it could possibly do to my future. It’s up to the player to ultimately decide if it’s right for him to go out there and play or not. I’ve got a family and wouldn’t go out there for one second if I didn’t feel I was healthy enough to play.
Awesome conversation with Dan Morgan about his concussions. Something like this should have been done a long time ago in the local market. The local guys really dropped the ball on this one.
