They say he temporarily lost vision in one eye. They say it may have been a small stroke!
My take is if this is true, as sad as it is to say, if I was him I would count my blessings and hang it up! 31 years old and a young family to think about. 9 years in football, 4 Superbowls and 3 rings? I would be thinking about my future and how healthy I am going to be if I continue to put myself through the trauma of being a defensive lineman. This is more than likely a result of the years of the beating some of these guys endure that is the game of football. Who was that Steeler player they featured not too long ago who was so beat up after his football career that he had serious problems with his head? I can't remember his name but it was a very sad thing but it is the reality of some sports. I would think it is quite similar to what happens to boxers after years of beatings. I hope for his sake there is no long term damage. Quit now and enjoy all he has worked so hard for and enjoy, most of all, his family. He could do commentating and such, I am sure he would do quite well at that.
