Dorsett talks about how football hits have impacted his life on Sunday TV show

Despite having signs of Chronic traumatic encephalopath and knowing what he knows now about concussions, former Dallas Cowboys great Tony Dorsett says he would “absolutely” do it all over again.

The Hall of Fame running back will appear on the CBS Sunday Morning With Charles Osgood show at 8 a.m.

Dorsett, 61, says he believes the hits he took during two decades of playing football have cost him his memory and more.

In 2013, Dorsett says he had his brain scanned at the UCLA Medical Center, and that the scans showed signs of CTE, a degenerative brain disease believed to be caused by concussions.

Dorsett says there was no discussion about the impact of concussions on athletes during his playing days.

“No, nobody talked about concussions. And then if they did, it’s like, ‘shake it off and get back out there,’” Dorsett tells journalist Mo Rocca.
