ESPN Commentator Former Patriots Tedy Brushi Suffers Second Stroke Says Family

FOXBOROUGH, MA. (THECOUNT) — Tedy Brushi, the former New England Patriots linebacker and current ESPN commentator, is recovering after suffering a stroke on Thursday – his second in the last 14 years.

‘Yesterday afternoon, Tedy had a stroke, known as a TIA [Transient Ischemic Attack],’ read the statement issued by his family on Friday. ‘He recognized his warning signs immediately: arm weakness, face drooping and speech difficulties. Tedy is recovering well. Tedy and his family thank you for your ongoing encouragement, and kindly ask for privacy at this time,’ reports dailymail.
