Study estimates 75% of deceased NFL players had CTE

Original: Study estimates 75% of NFL players who died over 15-year span had CTE

A new study estimates that about 75% of NFL players who died over a 15-year span had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head impacts. The findings add to mounting evidence connecting professional football to long-term brain damage and are reigniting debate over player safety, concussion protocols, and the league's responsibility to protect athletes.

Why now: The study's strikingly high CTE estimate intensifies ongoing concerns about brain injuries in professional football.
