With $2.6M grant, NFL taps UNC to conduct concussion research


As the concern rises about concussions and head injuries among athletes, the NFL is calling on one UNC department to explore rehabilitation strategies. Whether it's football, rugby, soccer, basketball or ice hockey, athletes are at risk. "About 10 percent of athletes on a football team will sustain a concussion within a given year," said UNC professor Dr. Kevin Guskiewicz. (WRAL.com)
