On Wednesday, Carolina Panthers defensive end Henry Anderson revealed the reason why he missed the Week 7 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back on Oct. 23.
The 31-year-old player was at home with his wife on Oct. 22 when he began experiencing numbness in his legs and arms, and his speech became blurred.
“ It was a stroke, so it’s basically like a blood clot in your brain,” Anderson said after Wednesday’s practice session.
“It was a blood clot in the brain, that’s what the issue was,” he added. “We got it resolved pretty quickly.”
Anderson’s 21-day window to return from the NFL’s non-football illness list was opened by the Panthers on Wednesday.
According to ESPN, this came after he went through numerous tests with local and national medical experts and failed to determine the cause of his stroke.
