Health issues behind him, Michael Koenen ready to make comeback (Shutdown Corner)

Punter Michael Koenen was not on an NFL team in 2015, for the first time in a decade.

Instead, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons specialist was fighting for his health, and watching his weight drop well below his normal playing weight.

Fox Sports' Alex Marvez tells Koenen's story, now a potential comeback tale as Koenen is finally healthy enough to begin pursuing another job in the league.

Things started going downhill for Koenen in 2014, when he believes he drank tainted sports water. He began dealing with negative effects like nausea, body aches and other flu-like symptoms.
