Even as concussion symptoms persist, Coby Fleener still hopes to return to NFL

Coby Fleener is still experiencing symptoms from the brain injury he suffered seven months ago.

The veteran tight end, who was cut by the New Orleans Saints in May with a failed physical designation, deals daily with varying levels of dizziness and what he described as "head pressure," two symptoms he hadn't experienced with his previous four concussions.

"Had you asked me the day after the concussion, I would've thought a week or a few weeks and I'd be back to normal," he said. "Unfortunately, that just hasn't been the case."

Fleener was in New Orleans on Thursday (June 28) at the National Athletic Trainers Association convention.
