RENTON, Wash. (AP) -Aaron Curry listened all offseason to talk taking place from Congress to kids’ leagues that raised the nation’s awareness of football head injuries.
Then on the first day of training camp he walked past the concussion poster teams are now required to post in locker room areas.
Minutes later, he sustained a concussion.
The $34 million man became one of the first players to go through treatment in the league’s new era of dealing with head injuries.
He says “it was very scary.”
For 10 days he was tested on recognizing colors and shapes, on short-term memory, completing sentences and word association.
Curry was returned to practice this week only after those results matched the baseline results Seattle got from him last summer.
