Some NFL players will donate part of their paychecks from the league's Dec. 23 games to help needy retired players.
Kansas City Chiefs' lineman Kyle Turley said at a news conference to announce the plan Tuesday at Mike Ditka's restaurant that he will donate his entire $25,000 paycheck.
Ditka has been vocal in publicizing the plight of former players who struggle with the effects of lingering physical problems.
"We make a lot of money playing this game, and it's because of the guys that played before us," Turley said.
