I thought of that too. 

 

Disc herniations or unstable vertebrae (ligament tears, etc) are scary, but very fixable, just fixable to the point that you can continue to be smashed on a football field without significant risk of paralysis.

 

Again hoping it's just that

Playing in the NFL at all is a huge feat. This is just a reminder of the true gladiators NFL players are and the sacrifice they give. I wish him the best and hope he can be at peace with the outcome of the battle.

I hope that he can go on to live a healthy life with his young family. It sounds like it may not have been an easy decision, could have been like Spielman’s. 

 

Yeah this. Stinks he had to retire, but I just want to hear he's going to be ok.
