Former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler has been added to the growing list of NFL players afflicted by the brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Michael Keck was 25 when he died in 2013. A former football star at Harrisonville High and later Missouri and Missouri State, he left behind wife Cassandra and son Justin.
Dozens of former players -- including 34 who played in the NFL -- have been diagnosed posthumously with CTE, a neurodegenerative disease linked to dementia, memory loss and depression. The disease, which researchers say is triggered by repeated head trauma, can currently be confirmed only by examining the brain after death.
