His football career is toast. You can only punish your body so much. He will be lucky if this doesn't lead to more serious things. Injuries to small blood vessles in the brain are the result of swelling and cranial bruising. There are many documented cases of this happening and leading to dementia later in life. There was a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers who retired in the eighties who know doesn't even know his own name from constant years of head banging on the field. Too bad for him who loved the game so much to have to go out this way but at least he will go out a winner.
