CTE Found in 75% of NFL Players Studied | Hattiesburg News

from Hattiesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A shocking new study from Massachusetts reveals that up to 25% of former NFL players may have suffered from CTE — a degenerative brain disease caused by repeated head trauma, with no cure and only diagnosable after death. Out of 338 brains analyzed from players who died between 2008 and 2021, 315 showed signs of the disease — and recent data from the last six years shows an even steeper rise, with over 210 of 235 brains affected. Symptoms like memory loss, mood swings, and behavioral issues can appear years later, raising urgent questions about player safety, early detection, and long-term care for those who once played the game.
