Because, listen, this is a real-life issue with Brandon. This is a real life issue that he has come out and publicly acknowledged and shared his story a few years back. It’s something that he’s dealing with each and every day of his life. “

Brooks detailed his struggles the next day after the Seahawks game on twitter- “I’d like to address what hap- pened yesterday. I woke up and did my typical routine of morning vomiting. It didn’t go away like it normal- ly does but I figured it would calm down once I got to the stadium. It did, but I felt exhausted. The nausea came back and I tried to battle through it and went out for the first drive. The nausea and vomiting came back until I left the field and tried everything I could to get back for my teammates but just wasn’t able to do it. Make no mistake I’m NOT ashamed or embarrassed by this nor what I go through daily. I’ve had this un- der control for a couple of years and had a set back yesterday. The only thing I’m upset about is that when my team needed me, I wasn’t able to be out there with and for them. Lastly, I appreciate the support of my coaches, teammates and fans. It doesn’t go unnoticed.
