In what is sure to be a benchmark discovery, ex-Bengals receiver Chris Henry's brain was found to have degenerative brain damage caused by multiple hits to the head.
Henry's mother gave the go ahead for the Brain Injury Research Institute (BIRI) to examine his brain.
I believe that this is the first find of its kind, where the brain of a NFL player at his peak was examined at this point in his life, and so early.
This is not good news for current players or former players, and may mark the beginning of significant changes in terms of post-career health care.
