Irv Cross, who starred for the Eagles, was posthumously diagnosed Tuesday with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, commonly known as CTE.
Cross suffered from depression, mood swings and memory loss in his post-playing days. Cross and his family made the decision to donate his brain to help raise awareness of the long-term consequences of repeated blows to the head, the AP reported.
Boston University researchers said Tuesday that when Cross passed away in 2021 he was suffering from Stage 4 CTE, the most advanced stage of the brain disease which is believed to be linked to repeated head injuries and blows to the head.
