Abraham was reported to have left the team last week after suffering his latest concussion and complaining of memory loss. To the surprise of most NFL analyst’s, Abraham reported back to the Cardinals this week in an attempt to play, but it appears that the Cardinals will do the right thing and take the decision out of the player’s hands. With all of the lawsuits currently pending with the NFL over former players dealing with head injuries, it is probably in the best interest of Abraham and the NFL that he end his career early before there is any further damage.
