Notre Dame senior defensive tackle Daniel Cage plans to take a medical redshirt season to recover from multiple concussions and an offseason knee surgery, his mother told Pete Sampson of Scout.com.
"He loves football," Bionne Cage said. "First and foremost, his health has to be OK. If he can get that straightened out, he can continue playing."
She continued: "He wants to make sure it's safe for him. We don't want to put him in an environment where it's risking a long term effect for a short term goal. Right now his head aches, his knee is healing.
