GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The family of Packers Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr says he is participating in a clinical trial using stem cells as a possible treatment for strokes.
Starr suffered two strokes and a mild heart attack last September. His family said Wednesday in a statement released by the Packers that Starr is participating in the trial.
The family says details will be shared in the future, and that Starr is working toward one goal - a return to Green Bay for a Packers game.
The 81-year-old Starr returned to his home in Alabama last Friday after the first of two treatments.
