Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall has shared some scary details about his battle with a concussion.
In an open letter to Dr. Bennet Omalu — the forensic pathologist who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the brains of deceased football players — Marshall claims he suffered a serious concussion in 2010 that he never disclosed to his then-team. He refused to inform doctors because he was in his “contract year.”
“If I missed games, my value would suffer, and I didn't want to lose the security I was so close to having for me and my family,” Marshall wrote in the letter, published on The Huffington Post.
