Tom Brady doesn't worry about concussions and considers them part of playing football, the New England Patriots quarterback says in a television interview to be broadcast this weekend.
"I'm not oblivious to them," Brady tells CBS Sunday Morning. "I mean, I understand the risks that, you know, come with the physical nature of our game."
Brady's wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, had said in a May interview that the quarterback has had unreported concussions and she worried about his long-term health. Bundchen’s comments sparked a formal investigation by the NFL and its players union, because the league’s 32 teams are required to disclose concussions and sideline impacted players until they are fully recovered.
