For injured former BG players, life goes on after football

BOWLING GREEN — Caleb Bright played almost an entire football game on Oct. 26, 2019, and to this day, he isn't quite sure how he did it.

The former Bowling Green offensive lineman started at left tackle that day for the Falcons' game at Western Michigan, but on a first-quarter screen pass, Bright's head pinballed between a defender and one of his teammates.

Bright did not ask to come out of the game, but from that point on, he has very little memory of playing. Before every series, he would take a whiff of smelling salts to stay alert.
