Jerry Jones says linking football and CTE is 'absurd' assumption

Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones says there still is not enough evidence to establish a link between football-related head injuries and serious brain damage, despite the recent release of more reports that make the connection.

Jones, speaking Tuesday at the annual NFL owners' meetings in Boca Raton, Fla., downplayed the role such injuries play.

"We want to continue to be safer and want to continue to support any type of research that would let us know what (the) consequences really are," Jones said, via The Washington Post.
