Former NFL LB Bryan Braman Battles Rare Brain Cancer in Seattle

News summary

Former NFL linebacker Bryan Braman, known for his time with the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles including a Super Bowl LII victory, is battling a very rare and aggressive form of brain cancer at age 38. Diagnosed in February 2025, Braman has undergone multiple surgeries and a CAR T-cell reprogramming treatment in Seattle, which initially shrank the cancer but was followed by rapid progression requiring chemotherapy. His treatment options are now limited, with doctors concerned about the cancer spreading to vital organs, but Braman remains determined to explore other trial treatments. A GoFundMe page has raised over $53,000 to help cover his medical expenses, with significant support from former teammate J.J. Watt, who donated $10,000. Braman's agent and supporters emphasize his resilience and leadership, calling for continued support from the sports community and fans as he fights this life-threatening illness. His journey highlights both the challenges of rare cancer treatment and the solidarity within the NFL family.
