With Trent Edwards back at the helm, there will undoubtedly be concerns about his recent concussion and whether or not it will affect his play. Playing quarterback in the NFL is not a job for the fainthearted and there are a lot of fans that have opined he has not been the same since he was injured against Arizona last year and sat out for a few weeks. Many types of football injuries can end a player’s career, but a head injury can end a player’s quality of life long after their football career is over.
I was one of the fortunate players that never got “knocked out”, but I did get my bell rung on numerous occasions. My wife swears I have short term memory loss. Anyway…..what was I talking about? Oh yeah, head injuries are a lot harder to properly diagnose and treat than other types of football injuries.
