Urban Meyer Says He Has a Brain Cyst That Causes Headaches

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer says he suffers from headaches due to a cyst in his brain, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Meyer said he has a congenital arachnoid cyst in his brain and takes medication to manage it.

"I just want people to know what’s going on," Meyer said about revealing his cyst. "I’ve been dealing with this for several years."

Meyer was first diagnosed with the cyst in 1998 as an assistant coach at Notre Dame.

Meyer underwent brain surgery in 2014 to remove fluid in order to reduce intercranial pressure.
