A few important notes to reiterate: This study is of former players who passed away, most of whose careers came from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The game is played under different rules and protocols today, and the study's own authors caution that these numbers can't be applied to active players. If you're a former player experiencing memory issues, mood changes, sleep problems, or anything neurological, please see a specialist rather than assuming the worst. Many conditions share these symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and sleep apnea, and they are very treatable. Full study: The BMJ 2026;394:e100418 (open access)

Another really good piece from my interview with Matt Hasselbeck ⬇️ He’s an ambassador for the Concussion & CTE Foundation as they are trying to encourage former NFL & CFB players to sign up for the DIAGNOSE CTE Study — the goal is to learn how to diagnose CTE in living players.

At least one in four NFL players has CTE when they die, according to a new study that examined the brains of former pro football players. CTE is a brain disease thought to be caused by years of sustained head trauma and can only be diagnosed after an autopsy of the brain. amna speaks to Chris Nowinski, Ph.D., a co-author of the study, for more.

NFL players have 42x the risk of dying from ALS before age 50, according to a new study from Concussion & CTE Foundation, Mass General Brigham, Harvard, and the Boston University CTE Center that I coauthored and was published last week in eClinicalMedicine, an open-access journal from The Lancet. There is clearly a connection between repetitive head impacts, CTE, and ALS, and it affects more than just NFL players. Former college players are likely at elevated risk too, which doesn’t surprise me as two former players from my college football team, Harvard – Michael Vollmer ’90 and Mike Ernst ’83 – have both developed ALS. With only 33 NFL players – from 30 teams – dying of ALS between 1960-2019, having two from only college football programs is extremely unlikely unless it’s linked to playing football. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease that destroys the nerve cells controlling muscle movement. While ALS is uncommon in the general population, researchers say these findings provide the strongest evidence yet that we need to explore head impacts in sports as a cause of ALS.
