Talking to Junior Seau, Dave Duerson and Paul Allen on the flipside talk about a cure for CTE


Lest we forget... this can be a harbinger of CTE: Love that the doctors are saying "He's fine, he'll be back on the field next week - although he might have to write the plays on his arms and pads."

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst — who entered concussion protocol nearly one month ago — was diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia by an independent neurologist, Hurst’s father, Jerry, said Wednesday. Hayden Hurst said Thursday that the concussion isn’t career ending and hopes he’ll be back on the field this season.

Post-traumatic amnesia is a condition that develops after an injury and can involve multiple forms of amnesia, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

“(Hayden Hurst) has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Amnesia by an independent neurologist as a result of the hit he took in Chicago November 9,” Jerry Hurst wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Slow recovery, don’t know when he’ll be back. Prayers appreciated!”

Hayden Hurst made his first public remarks about the concussion Thursday.

“I appreciate everyone reaching out (and) checking on me,” the Panthers tight end posted. “I suffered a pretty nasty concussion against the Bears a few weeks ago (and) don’t remember up to (four) hours after the game. Scary situation but the Panthers have been incredible walking me through this process.”

In a second post, the tight end added, “While it was scary, it is NOT career ending. I’m starting my return to play this week, so fingers crossed I make it back for the last few weeks! God Bless & Keep Pounding !!!!”
