When legendary running back Tony Dorsett was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalapathy (CTE) in 2013, it brought issue of head injuries in the NFL home to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Hall of Fame running back, 62, has been on a slow decline ever since. He opened up about his plight Saturday night during the celebration honoring the 25-year anniversary of the 1992 Super Bowl title team.
"I'm fighting CTE," Dorsett said. "I have good days and I have bad days. The unfortunate thing sometimes is I have more bad than good. It is what it is. I'm trying to maintain and handle it.
