per Joe:
But in late March, Borchardt went to make a spectacular leaping catch in practice and landed hard, suffering a concussion. He was given a CT-Scan at the hospital and cleared for any of the usual concerns with a head injury – no skull fracture, no internal bleeding.
The doctors, however, did see one abnormality that had them concerned. They ordered a dye-induced MRI. Later that same night, the family received the news. Borchardt, 20, had a brain tumor.
“Your heart just completely sinks,” said Borchardt’s father, Jeff Sr.
Jeff Sr., said Thursday that the surgery was a complete success. The family is still awaiting the pathology report, which could take until the middle of next week. Borchardt already has set his sights on playing football again in 2016.
