Brain injuries in football -- what can be done?
|
The biggest issue is our health; it's more than just CTE. But for something significant to change, the players will have to make it happen.
--Honor Jackson
Honor Jackson, 69, a former defensive back for the New England Patriots and New York Giants, was commenting on how the effects of head injuries have become a daily topic in the news.
The quiet, articulate Jackson, a Marin City native who played his college ball at the University of the Pacific, opened up on November 13 at The Plank in Oakland where the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) Northern California Former Players Chapter was having its annual meeting. "We (pro football) are the big dogs, so people look at us when they talk about the effects of concussions," he said as he looked across the room at his fellow NFL alumni. "It's too late for some of us."

The issue of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is no longer taboo.
CTE
is a neurodegenerative disease found in people who have had multiple head injuries.
Symptoms may include behavioral problems, mood problems, and problems with thinking. This typically does not begin until years after the injuries, and often gets worse over time and can result in amnesia, dementia, a proclivity for violence, and even suicide. CTE is front and center at the table of owner-player relationships and negotiations. With the knowledge of post-career realities and backed by an abundance of medical and scientific evidence, this issue represents a roadblock to business-as-usual and is sitting on the 50-yard line, not going anywhere.
Currently Dr. David O'Grady, a neuropsychologist who practices in Walnut Creek, is conducting the baseline assessment program to assess former players as part of the 2015 $1 billion settlement which "resolved" NFL concussion lawsuits. The awards could reach $1 million up to $5 million for those diagnosed in their 30's and 40's with Parkinson's disease or Lou Gehrig's disease, or for deaths involving chronic brain trauma.
This program has only been in place for a few months and in this process, former players can request a baseline assessment. In conjunction with a neurologist, O'Grady has evaluated six former players for neuro-cognitive function. Currently, if a player demonstrates impairment, he is compensated accordingly.
This approach, although a constructive step in the acknowledgement of the frequency and severity of head injuries in football, may still fall short of what could be done to identify the potentially permanent harm to a young athlete.
Dr. Thomas McCord, a clinical psychologist who practices in Lafayette, has concluded that this situation requires a new protocol; one that is proactive, protective and preventative, so that potential damage or trauma can be identified before--not after--it happens. McCord suggests annual, ongoing, neuro-psychological baseline tests for all football players, starting in high school. This would assess short-term, long-term, verbal and visual memory as well as attention and concentration. He suggests administering these tests every August during training camp or summer practice. The goal is to look at cognitive ability and performance--and the possibility of decline--through a simple series of non-invasive tests, i.e. no MRI, x-ray or scans. Each screening evaluation would take 30-60 minutes, and be
administered under the supervision of a psychologist. The test would then be repeated every year, and any changes in the player's cognitive function would be recorded. The cost would not be significant, especially to the NFL.

At every level--high school, college and professional--the parents, players and coaches could make an informed decision as to whether to continue participation in such a high-contact sport. McCord, a former collegiate football player, feels passionately about the subject. "The players and parents deserve nothing less, and every high school football program should be concerned," he said. "And for each player who goes on to play in college and/or the pros, there would be a long history of measured neuro-cognitive functioning."
When asked, O'Grady agrees, "It makes sense to thoughtfully develop baseline assessments for everyday players, to protect them," he said. The idea of a carefully developed sensitive and quick assessment (TEST) designed to identify and possibly prevent severe injury--before the fact--is also related to the current and sometimes contentious conversation about the NFL concussion protocol.
"We have to accept the idea that letting someone pass the sideline protocol is flawed," said Chris Nowinski, co-founder of the Sports Legacy Institute, a non-profit dedicated to advancing the treatment and prevention of concussions. "There will be some percentage that will pass the test, but will have symptoms later," Nowinski said. "It's inherent in concussions."
There is another test that could help, but the NFL isn't using it. A 2015 article in USA Today describes the King-Devick Test, which measures rapid eye movement using readable cards. "When there's been a concussion or other brain injury," says the article, "the time it takes to read the numbers on a card will be slower than the person's baseline test, thus having a baseline assessment for current players is essential."
Unlike the NFL's Sideline Concussion Assessment, which requires the medical professional administering it to make an immediate, often rough judgment on signs of a head injury, the King-Devick test is completely objective. "You just have to have him read the numbers and, if he's slower, he's got a concussion," said Nowinski.
There is much evidence to support a change in the concussion protocol. On December 9, in a game against San Francisco, Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage was tackled and his head bounced off the turf. Savage rolled onto his back and lifted up his hands, which then appeared to seize, twitching for a few seconds, visibly trembling as if he were experiencing an electric shock, a telltale sign of a potential concussion, according to experts.
Savage was quickly evaluated for a concussion on the sideline and sent back into the game when the Texans got the ball back. He threw two incomplete passes, was examined a second time, and was then pulled for good. Texans coach Bill O'Brien said following the game that Savage "was evaluated and cleared to return, then evaluated again and not cleared." That explanation was still insufficient to many, raising the gaze of those who have observed the events of the past few years with alarm--and dread.

On February 2016, an autopsy discovered Stage 3 CTE in Raider Hall of Famer
Ken Stabler
's brain after his death. A month later, in the face of mounting evidence, NFL official Jeff Miller publicly acknowledged the link between football and CTE. Two-sport legend
Bo Jackson
said in a recent interview that if he knew about the risks associated with CTE he
would never have played football
and discourages his children from playing.
In July, the AMA released an updated study reporting that out of 111 brains of deceased former NFL players studied, an astonishing 110 had CTE. In September, an
autopsy
showed that former
New England Patriots
tight end
Aaron Hernandez
, a convicted murderer, was found to have had Stage 3 CTE at the time of his suicide in prison at age 27; researchers had never seen Stage 3 in a brain younger than 46 years old.
After the 2020 season the NFL and the Players Association will meet to try and renew their collective bargaining agreement, the first since 2011. Historically, the purpose of these meetings is to renew television contracts, review rules and foster a spirit of cooperation between the two sides. Some of the topics that will be on the agenda are: guaranteed contracts; helmet overhauls; new rules, such as eliminating kickoffs; officiating; and for the first time, player supply; namely, will there be enough young players coming up to replenish the ranks of the NFL?
Honor Jackson, when told of Dr. McCord's idea, liked it but was concerned about the real-life implications of such an evaluation. "How do you tell a young guy who might fail such a test that says he can't play anymore?"
The average NFL career is slightly under four years, and there are no guaranteed contracts in football, which begs the question: Does the player have any other source of income?
How, says Jackson, do you tell a player making anywhere from $500,000 to $25 million a year that he must walk away from a game he loves, one that has been his identity since Pop Warner?

An entirely separate discussion around the appeals process, lifetime medical coverage and increased workmen's compensation benefits is necessary. Perhaps the next collective bargaining agreement is the time and place to address these issues. With three years before the new agreement, it may well be time for innovative ideas. And the likelihood of a strike is lurking.
What do the future negotiations hold for the players?
"
Our downfall has always been not sticking together in our talks with owners," says Jackson.
These are the questions which confront the sport and its participants. McCord understands this and empathizes, but maintains, "As players progress through various levels of football, understanding the possibility and presence of brain damage and its effects is their right to know. Knowledge is power."
