Sheriff: Vincent Jackson suffered from 'chronic alcoholism'

Pro Bowl wide receiver Vincent Jackson struggled with alcoholism and other health issues before he was found dead in a Florida hotel room this week, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said Wednesday. Chronister also said Jackson's family is concerned he might have suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a progressive and fatal disease that has been linked to concussions. Jackson, 38, was found dead Monday at the Homewood Suites in Brandon, where he had been living since Jan. 11.
