The Raiders issued a statement Tuesday asking for thoughts and prayers for their former linebacker Neiron Ball.
Ball has been in a clinically induced coma since he had a cerebral aneurysm on 16 September. Ball, who was a fifth-round pick in 2015, was diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his brain while he was at the University of Florida and was allowed to return to football after being operated on in 2011 .
In a message on their Twitter account, The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation confirmed Ball's condition after speaking with his family.
"We thought Neiron #AVM has been clearedthis does not seem to be the case because he developed an aneurysm that broke out. His family asks for ongoing prayers.
The foundation also shared an article about Ball's work with a young Raiders fan who also worked with AVM.
Ball suffered a serious knee injury during his rookie season and broke away from the Raiders last year. Our best wishes go to him and his family.
