ESPN.com reports former New England Patriots LB Ted Johnson said in an interview with ESPN Friday, Feb. 9, that head coach Bill Belichick should not be blamed for Johnson practicing at full strength with a concussion during the 2002 season. "I don't want to place blame anywhere. It probably could all go around to a little bit of everybody. I can't honestly sit here and say Bill Belichick knew what second-impact syndrome was," Johnson said. Johnson added Friday, Feb. 9, that he is scared, anxious and worried about his future as he battles depression and memory loss. Johnson is showing early signs of Alzheimer's, according to his current neurologist. "Right now, I would probably describe it as a little scary, a little unsure," Johnson said. "Lot of anxiety. Lot of disappointment. Shame."

I really do." Johnson is currently suffering from brain damage including memory loss, depression and an addiction to amphetamines and blames Belichick for rushing him back onto the field when he was not physically ready.

The Associated Press reports former New England Patriots LB Ted Johnson says head coach Bill Belichick subjected him to hard hits in practice while recovering from a concussion, against the advice of the team's top trainer, during the 2002 season, according to a report in The New York Times.

Johnson says he now forgets people's names, misses appointments and suffers from depression and an addiction to amphetamines. There was a point where Johnson appeared headed to Alzheimer's disease. ''There's something wrong with me,'' Johnson said. ''There's something wrong with my brain. And I know when it started.''

"Ted informed me of his decision today and we had a good discussion," said Belichick. "Although his retirement is unexpected, we thoroughly respect his decision and support him as he moves on.

I don't think there's any reason to rush it. He's still a Patriot." Added LB Don Davis, "There are few players around the league that impact the game or a team in such a way that you have to take notice,'' said Davis. "To me, that's what Tedy Bruschi is. He has that presence and sheer determination. It's a will to win. You look at him and he's not your biggest linebacker or your fastest guy, but he's in the right place at the right time.''

Michael Felger, of the Boston Herald, reports New England Patriots LB Ted Johnson (foot) continues to work his way back from a broken foot suffered in the Sept. 7, season-opener at the Buffalo Bills.

The fact that head coach Bill Belichick didn't place Johnson on injured reserve is strong enough indication that the Patriots expect him to return sometime in November. If the team felt Johnson was done for the year, or would be able to contribute to only a few games, they would have shelved him for the year.
