Despite Concussion History, TE Pat Freiermuth Trusting Team Doctors

Just two years into his career, it’s hard to ignore the number of concussions Pat Freiermuth has. Officially, three in two years, a scary number for any player in a world where head injuries are treated with the seriousness they deserve. Several players in recent years have walked away from the game over concern for their health. Linebacker Chris Borland was a budding star who retired after suffering concussions througout his life.

For Freiermuth, he’ll return to action Sunday night and play against the Miami Dolphins, missing one game after suffering a concussion in the team’s Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
