Fox News
Phillip Adams’ brain will be tested for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which has been shown to affect several former NFL players to cause violent mood swings and other cognitive disorders, a South Carolina coroner’s office said Friday.
Adams played in the NFL for six seasons with several different teams. He suffered at least two concussions and a broken ankle during his short career. Adams’ family approved the brain procedure to be included as part of his autopsy, York County Coroner Sabrina Guest said. Medical University of South Carolina will work with Boston University to see whether Adams’ brain was suffering from CTE.More Related News
