Debby Ryan Reveals Severe Brain Injury and Grueling Rehab

Debby Ryan, the former Disney Channel star, says she suffered a life-changing brain injury years ago that left her out of commission for about six months and required a six‑month neurological rehab, including a fringe science treatment; she describes separate “pre- and post‑incident” versions of herself, notes that after her fifth concussion her symptoms worsened, and explains that some abilities haven’t fully returned while her eyes closed offer clearer perception in a loud, bright world. She credits an amazing support team and her family—she shares one child with husband Josh Dun—for helping her navigate the recovery.

CTE Crisis in Football: The Hidden Health Toll Demands Change

A British Journal of Medicine study of 235 donated NFL brains (2016–2021) found CTE in 215 cases, implying a minimum 24.5% prevalence among deceased players and likely much higher; the authors warn that repetitive head trauma in football is linked to CTE and long-term cognitive, mood, and motor issues, including suicides among former players, framing the sport as a looming public health crisis and urging fans to reconsider supporting it.

CTE findings nudge NFL toward kickoff safety rethink

A new CTE study, amplified by the New York Times, underscores the ongoing brain-injury debate in football and could bolster moves to shift the kickoff touchback from the 35- to the 30-yard line to reduce high‑impact collisions, though living-diagnosis limitations mean participation in football at all levels is unlikely to change significantly in the near term.

Family to study Aldon Smith's brain for CTE after death

The family of former 49ers defensive end Aldon Smith says they will have his brain examined by CTE experts in Boston to check for chronic traumatic encephalopathy and other brain damage linked to years of concussions, after his death following a medical emergency in Los Gatos. They hired civil rights attorneys to pursue the examination and understand the circumstances surrounding his passing; the Santa Clara Medical Examiner has not yet released a cause of death. Smith, 36, was a standout player whose career included 49ers records and stints with the Raiders, Cowboys, and Seahawks, but was later troubled by off-field issues.
