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.
The study was funded by a $100,000 grant from the Brain Injury Research Institute, a nonprofit organization founded by Bailes; Dr. Bennet Omalu, a pathologist who in 2005 identified the first case of CTE in a former NFL player; and Bob Fitzsimmons, a Wheeling, W.Va., attorney who represented late Steelers center Mike Webster, the first NFL player to be diagnosed with CTE.
