In a story posted Tuesday morning to MMQB.com, former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Russell Allen revealed that he suffered a stroke in last December's loss to the Buffalo Bills and will not play again.
Allen says he first felt the symptoms of the stroke after colliding with Bills center Eric Wood in that game.
Wood took to Twitter on Tuesday afternoon to react:
Pretty sobering reading on ESPN bottom line that a collision I had with a LB for the Jags gave him a stroke and career over

Just reminds you of how fragile your career in the NFL is and you can't take it for granted
