Brumfield Regains Movement in Legs

Scott Brumfield is regaining strength and motion in his legs and the Cincinnati Bengal lineman could return home soon.

However, his doctor said it is too early to tell if Brumfield will play football again.

“We’re guardedly optimistic about his prognosis,” said Andrew Pollak, an orthopedic trauma surgeon at the University of Maryland’s Shock Trauma Center.

Brumfield sustained a concussion of the spinal cord when he collided with teammate Tony McGee during Sunday’s game against Baltimore.

When Brumfield was brought to the hospital Sunday, he was able only to wiggle his toes and was experiencing weakness in his hands.
