Carolina Panthers' Hayden Hurst Diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Amnesia

The tight end's condition raises concerns about the potential consequences of seemingly ordinary plays in football.

Hayden Hurst, Carolina Panthers tight end, was diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia following a hit during a game against the Chicago Bears on November 9.
Post-traumatic amnesia is a condition where an individual is unable to remember the events surrounding a concussive injury.
The severity of post-traumatic amnesia depends on the severity of the traumatic brain injury, and it is fairly common after a concussion.
Hurst's recovery timeline is uncertain, but he hopes to return to play in Week 14 or 15 against the Atlanta Falcons or the Green Bay Packers.
The seemingly ordinary play that led to Hurst's injury has raised concerns about the potential consequences of any given snap in football.
