Long spent eight seasons in the NFL, enduring the physical punishment that came with playing offensive line. After his career ended, he struggled with depression and other health problems before dying by suicide in 2005 at 45 years old. An examination of Long’s brain found abnormalities consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy. But the Steelers’ team physician questioned whether the findings could definitively be attributed to football, calling the connection speculative at the time. This video looks at Long’s NFL career, the findings surrounding his brain, and the questions his story raised about what football knew about CTE. 👍 Like if you remember Terry Long 💬 Comment: How much did the NFL understand about CTE when Terry Long played? 🔔 Subscribe for more stories beyond the highlights Business Inquiries: [email protected] Sports & Scars Network Skates & Scars: https://www.youtube.com/@skates_scars/ Baseball & Scars: https://www.youtube.com/@baseball_scars/
