Recovery Prognosis Is Good For Former Redskins' DE Manley

Oct 31, 2014 8:28 AM

Dexter Manley, the former All-Pro defensive end for the Washington Redskins, underwent 10? hours of brain surgery Wednesday and, as expected, is experiencing minor, isolated memory loss. According to his wife, Lydia, Manley was hospitalized June 16 after police found him "disoriented." She said a CT scan showed an enlarged colloid cyst that was collecting fluid and causing increased intracranial pressure. Doctors recommended surgery, and Manley, 48, is now resting in the intensive care unit at Georgetown University Hospital. His prognosis is for a relatively full recovery, although doctors have told his wife that memory loss is a common side effect of the operation.

Nov 8, 2014 4:27 AM

Mark Brunell, Redskins' quarterback, has a small fracture in his left index finger and is expected to miss two to three weeks of offseason workouts. Brunell was hurt during a workout earlier this week, but the team did not announce the injury until Friday. Because Brunell is left-handed, he will have to sit out most of the remaining spring practices, although he might return in time for the June 16-18 minicamp. The 35-year-old Brunell is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in late July.
