On Thursday morning, former Ohio State linebacker Joshua Perry sat down with Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie of TODAY to discuss his recent retirement from the NFL due to concussions. Perry announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday after suffering the sixth documented concussion of his football career while in training camp with the Seattle Seahawks.
After helping Ohio State to a national championship in 2014, Perry was drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Chargers. After being waived by the Chargers, Perry was picked up by the Indianapolis Colts and appeared in two games for the team.
