Sideline reporter Ross Tucker is bringing the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” to the Army-Navy game, using the iconic matchup to remember two former players who died and were diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease.
Tucker will wear shoes adorned with images of Demaryius Thomas and Chris Eitzmann, who were both found to have chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The condition affects athletes and others who sustain repeated head trauma.
“Called a bunch of Demaryius Thomas games in NFL & played against Chris Eitzmann in college,” Tucker tweeted,Tucker usually works Philadelphia Eagles broadcasts, but won’t be at this weekend’s game against the Tennessee Titans, when the NFL offers players and others the opportunity to wear special shoes to bring awareness to a personal cause.
Instead, he will wear the shoes at the game between the military academies in Philadelphia on Dec. 10.after he died last year at the age of 33. Eitzmann, who played at Harvard and then briefly in the NFL for the New England Patriots, also died last December and was diagnosed with CTE.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
