Ted Thompson issues statement about his health

Former Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson today released a statement about his health, announcing that he's been diagnosed with an autonomic disorder. Thompson's statement via the Packers also indicates it is not CTE-related (Thompson played in the NFL for a decade).

You can read the full statement by clicking here, but here's an excerpt from it:

I have been diagnosed with an autonomic disorder. I feel that it’s important to mention that based on the test results and opinions of medical specialists, they feel that I do not fit the profile of someone suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Tom Silverstein of PackersNews.com detailed some of the backstory to this announcement, in that it had been rumored for some time.
