San Jose State football: Jared Leaf will no longer play football

After suffering a concussion in practice prior to the season, it looks like Jared Leaf's career is done.

Some sad news coming out of San Jose on Monday, as San Jose State University head coach Ron Caragher reveals that Leaf will no longer play after his Monday news conference.

All indications say that it was just a "freak accident" as it wasn't a head to head hit.

Per Ron Caragher:

"It wasn't helmet to helmet," he said. "It was just a hit in practice."

Jared Leaf, who is a fifth-year senior and is majoring in communications, had suffered life-threatening burns last year as he ran through flames to escape a burning building.
