Thank you Chris Nowinski and Concussion & CTE Foundation for this research we need more awareness surrounding CTE.
Our new study, published today in @JAMANetworkOpen, estimates that 75% of NFL players who died between 2008 and 2023 had CTE.
This is not a measure of all current or former players. It does not mean 75% of current players have CTE, and not everyone with CTE develops symptoms.
The findings reinforce two priorities: supporting former players and families today, and reducing repetitive head impacts to protect future generations.
CTE is serious, but this number should not mean hopelessness. Research is advancing, and we can improve care and make sports safer.
Former players and families: you’re not alone. DM me to connect with support and explore research opportunities, if you’re interested.

Not Concussion Settlement related but it affects many of the same players. You need to take a look.
This morning I sent an urgent newsletter regarding #NFL Disability's latest attempt to strip #Black retired players of important rights. Please repost. We need to get this out.

🏈The recent findings involving certain Parkinson’s disease claims have created understandable concern throughout the retired player community.
The Players Advocacy Committee believes accountability, transparency, and fairness are essential to maintaining trust in the process.

The official NFL Player Advocacy Committee (PAC) is here to help retired players who need assistance with their NFL Concussion Settlement. Our committee works to ensure that players understand their rights and have access to the resources available through the settlement.
The NFL Player Advocacy Committee welcomes our new President, former player Ricky Ray.
Lacey Leonard, Roxanne McCray, John McCaull, and Chris Nowinski remain dedicated committee members committed to supporting retired players and their families in the NFL Concussion Settlement.
Please repost this. The REALITY is the NFL still is not paying concussion settlements and getting away with it and no one's fighting back right now.
“more than 91% of the class members have received $0 from the [NFL Concussion] settlement.”

First, I want to thank God for all He has done in my life.
Next, thanks to Congress for giving me the platform to discuss a much needed TANF reform.
As you know, I was recently diagnosed w/ Parkinson’s which has been an ordeal. My wife, family, and friends have been supportive and I want to thank them for being there for me.
To my fans and those wishing well — thank you all for the love.🙏
These players have nowhere to turn for help, they are on their own! Deny Deny until they die! @NFLPAFmrPlayers @AmyDashTV @SheillaDingus @TheWillHobson @RichMcHugh @AP @annmckeemd @NBCNightlyNews @stephgosk @60Minutes @SheillaDingus @RoxyGordon16 @GMA @Isaac_Solotarof
