Cowboys' Jones: 'Absurd' to link CTE, football

A week after a top NFL official acknowledged for the first time a link between CTE and football, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he is not convinced that the data shows there is a connection.

Jeff Miller, the NFL's senior vice president for health and safety, was asked March 14 by Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., if the link between football and neurodegenerative diseases such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy has been established.

"The answer to that question is certainly yes," said Miller, who was attending a roundtable discussion of concussions in Washington.
