Browns Pro Bowl LT Joe Thomas says he’s already having memory loss

Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas hasn’t missed a game during his career while cementing himself as one of the league’s best players at his position. But despite being relatively healthy during his 10-year career, Thomas admits football might have already taken its toll on his body.

The 32-year-old said Wednesday that he’s already experiencing memory loss, though Thomas wouldn’t definitely link that to playing in the NFL.



Thomas laid out some of the symptoms he’s experienced but added that he’s tried to maintain a positive outlook through it all.


Thomas has been named to the Pro Bowl in each year of his career after being taken with the No. 3 pick in 2007. He said he knew the dangers of playing football but added that almost every profession comes with risk.
