Former NFL running back and Ohio State star Chris "Beanie" Wells said Monday during 97.1 The Fan's The Tim and Beanie Show that he recently underwent an MRI after experiencing headaches and issues with his speech and memory.
"I have some plaque separation," he told his co-host Tim Hall (h/t Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com). "And when you have that plaque separation, it shows that you experienced some sort of traumatic brain injury. Obviously that traumatic injury for me would come from playing football. Not only that. They had some cells tacked on to that separated plaque that I needed to get under control.
