Former Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson was one of the few voices speaking out about the impact of brain injuries in professional football when he first told his story to the press in 2007. Today, he is joined by a growing group of health care professionals and advocates who are sounding the alarm about the long-term impact of repeated concussions from contact sports.

Ted Johnson joined Jim Braude to talk about his experience and his new efforts pushing for legislation sponsored by state Rep. Kim Ferguson (R-Holden) to require insurance companies to cover rehab treatments for people who suffer brain injuries.
