Rams running back Tre Mason needs help, and now. Looks to be another concussion story that families do not want to talk about.
Returning to the football field does not appear to be in the near future for Tre Mason, and you’ll understand why when you hear what his mother told police after one of the Los Angeles Rams running back’s many run-ins with the law back in July.
TMZ obtained footage that shows some of the July 27 ATV chase Mason led Palm Beach Police on, and it features a conversation between Mason’s mom and two officers. When police told Mason’s mother Tre should be playing football, she disagreed and noted that head injuries have left her son with a “10-year-old’s mindset.”
“No, actually, he shouldn’t, because this is the football that drives everybody that nobody even knows about,” she said. “He gets knocked around and everything else. There’s CTE and this head injury thing. You can say he should be playing football, but this is not what it is. After the offseason we could clearly see the change. Like, completely.”
It hurts to write about this, and even more for Mason’s family, but he is not in the right mind-set at all for any type of activity.
Mason’s mother also said Tre isn’t even aware of what is going on with his career.
“As much as he’s accomplished, as hard as he’s worked, as much as he’s built his character, in record-breaking time it’s going downhill because of what’s going on,” she said. “He doesn’t even know. He’s not conscious enough.”
If you watched the movie Concussion, this is exactly what it is talking about. If Mason wants to return to the superstar he once was, he needs help from a professional and loved ones. Prayers for Tre Mason…
