Dallas Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware said he contemplated retirement in 2009 after a neck injury suffered in a game against the San Diego Chargers. Ware crumpled to the ground, unable to move his arms or legs. When he was on the stretcher, the reality of the situation set in. ‘I was so scared. I started thinking about my family. I thought, ‘I might have to give football up,” Ware said. ‘I really thought I might have to retire, because I just couldn’t imagine going through something so traumatic again.’
