Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware says he still gets occasional stingers since a scary head-first collision in a game nearly three years ago. Though Ware has never missed a game in his seven NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, he said after practice Wednesday that he sometimes gets a tingling sensation and his arm will go numb for a couple of seconds after contact in games. Ware says he never had any such problems before that collision in a game against San Diego in December 2009. When Ware wasn't at a practice session open to reporters last week, the Cowboys said Ware was out with a strained neck. Ware says he missed that practice while getting X-rays and other tests that he called precautionary, he says he isn't worried. Source: Associated Press
I hate to say it but this kinda sounds like something that could turn into a long term issue. If it's something that'll affect him for the rest of his life, I'd rather see him call it quits then be hecked for life.
