ESPN tackles the death of Tyler Sash, baseball survives, and Omar Truitt finds a new calling.
ESPN's Outside the Lines chronicled the tragically short life of Tyler Sash Sunday, concentrating on the five diagnosed concussions and pain medication he received for his repeated shoulder injuries. One particular hit, a blindside block suffered in the NFC Championship Game his rookie season, was shown repeatedly; Sash played two weeks later in the Super Bowl.
Sash's girlfriend described him as "disoriented and confused" the weekend that Sash died. The CTE found in Sash's brain, a condition previously reported, was as bad as what was found in Junior Seau.
