Would NFL players take a test to diagnose CTE in the living?
A new discussion is underway about whether NFL players would agree to a test that could diagnose CTE, the brain disease linked to repeated head impacts, while they are still alive. CTE has so far only been confirmed after death, so a reliable living test would be a major step for football and player health. The open question is whether players want to know.
Why now: Advances toward detecting CTE in living people renew debate over brain injury risks in football and whether players would want to know their status.
