If I understand it correctly, teams were wary not so much because of the blood clots themselves, but more that he has to be on blood thinners because of them. Blood thinners can be dangerous when you're playing a contact sport because you can have internal bleeding from a hit and not know it. At Tennessee he managed it by cycling off the blood thinners around gameday, I assume we're going to manage it in a similar way.
In other words it's not a chronic thing like a bad knee where he might be in and out of the lineup. Either he'll be able to manage it and play, or he'll have to retire. [Reply]
