Clearance for Westbrook Means Nothing
Thursday, November 19th, 2009According to ProFootballTalk.com, Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook was told by doctors he would make a full recovery.
The fact of the matter is clearance from doctors nowadays mean nothing in regards to concussion.
What the report means is that there will be no symptoms right now.
However, the hidden problem is that multiple concussions build up tau proteins that result in mental diseases later in life.
In the end Westbrook is at a point where the next concussion can do a lot of damage and really needs to evaluate if football is that important.
