Henry had them: injuries sustained before getting to college, which is really scary because that means he had permanent brain damage from peewee or high school football; or it was from injuries in college and pro ball that were to slight to be noticed (aka sub-concussions).

If true, that will kill the game......insurance premiums will skyrocket to the point where high schools will not be able to afford to pay them, so they'll wind up dropping football.

Since CTEs can’t be diagnosed until after death it probably won’t drive insurance up that high. But its all pretty scary.
