New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady isn't oblivious to the dangers of playing football and health risks that come along with it.

In an interview with CBS This Morning scheduled to air this Sunday, Brady was asked about concussions in football.

"I'm not oblivious to them," Brady said, via Jimmy Golen of the Associated Press. "I mean, I understand the risks that, you know, come with the physical nature of our game."

Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, told Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning in May that Brady suffered a concussion at some point during the 2016 season.
