League Hit With Rising Concussions, Brain Trauma News

SAN FRANCISCO — Former quarterback Troy Aikman says he is fortunate to have gotten out of the NFL in good health as news of brain trauma in recently deceased former players is mounting, and he knows others are suffering.

"I know there's people that I played with and against and those before me that are really battling some tough times as a result we assume from having played the game," the three-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys told Reuters on Thursday.

"It obviously is a real concern for our game," the Hall of Famer added.
