Buffalo Bills center Mitch Morse couldn't be happier about returning to the field after being cleared to do so by the NFL's concussion protocol. Perhaps leading to such emotion from the Bills interior offensive lineman, Morse previously questioned whether or not he would ever play the game of football again.
“It's a blessing, to be honest,” Morse said. “The game of football is full of just tremendous highs and tremendous lows. And, unfortunately, injuries are some of the lowest parts of this game. And it takes a whole village to get you out of those lows, whether it be the [medical] staff here, which did an unbelievable job of giving me every tool and resource available, friends and family and teammates.”
Morse also made a point to shed some light on the instance that caused him to suffer a concussion in the first place.
“Both me and the defender were falling,” Morse said. “I was kind of rolling out of it and the ground propelled [the defender's] knee into the side of my head. I told him, ‘Man, it was just one of those weird, freak, once-in-a-career hits you take.' And that's when you kind of come into the, ‘Why the hell is this happening to me?' But you can only control what you can control, and that's the toughest thing. It's easier said than done.”
Morse and the Bills will begin the 2019 regular season on Sunday against the AFC East division rivals New York Jets.
