Arizona Wildcats legend and former Super Bowl champion linebacker Tedy Bruschi suffered a stroke Thursday but is “recovering well,” according to a statement released by his family.
“Yesterday afternoon, Tedy had a stroke, known as a TIA. He recognized his warning signs immediately: arm weakness, face drooping and speech difficulties. Tedy is recovering well, and would like to thank the nurses, doctors and staff at Sturdy Memorial Hospital for all they have done. Tedy and his family thank you for your ongoing encouragement, and kindly ask for privacy at this time.”
Bruschi, 46, suffered his first stroke in 2005 not long after he helped the Patriots win the Super Bowl.
