Panthers DE Henry Anderson says he had a minor stroke in October
Carolina Panthers defensive end Henry Anderson has been out since late October with an "illness," which he revealed to have been a minor stroke on Wednesday after his return to practice.
Speaking with reporters for the first time since being placed on the reserve/non-football injury list, Anderson said he was hospitalized for "a few days," but he is now "all good" and the issue was "resolved pretty quickly."
Anderson, 31, said he experienced numbness in his legs and slurred speech on Oct. 22, leading to his wife taking him to the hospital, per the Associated Press:
I didnt know much about strokes but I found out more about them and realized I got pretty lucky avoiding anything serious and long term, Anderson said. I am glad that I was kind of oblivious when it happened because I would have been a little more panicked had I realized what was going on. But like I said, I got pretty lucky.
