New Dolphins tight end Jordan Cameron has a history of concussions. And a history of insisting that his concussions aren’t a problem.
After suffering his third concussion in two years late last season, Cameron insisted he’d be fine. And he said the same today at his introductory press conference in Miami, stating that he’s had baseline testing done for six years and his brain shows no signs of long-term damage.
“If it was a concern for me, I wouldn’t be here right now,” Cameron said, via Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.
Cameron said his history of concussions “might have hurt” his ability to find a good fit in free agency, as some teams were scared off from signing a guy with that concussion history. But Dolphins G.M. Dennis Hickey said the Dolphins are “very comfortable” that Cameron is healthy enough to play.
So neither the Dolphins nor Cameron think his concussions are a concern going forward. Here’s hoping that remains the case.
