Bobby Engram is attacking himself
Tests finally came back on Seahawks receiver Bobby Engram’s hyperactive thyroid. Not only does he have a virus, but Graves Disease as well - a disorder in which the body’s antibodies start attacking the body itself, causing the thyroid to overproduce hormones. The disease is treatable and coach Mike Holmgren expects Engram to rejoin the team in practice soon. Engram has lost 8 pounds while inactive.
Sounds bad, but maybe if Shaun Rogers had looked into acquiring this disease instead of using banned over-the-counter weight loss pills he could have avoided suspension.
Best wishes to Bobby for a speedy recovery.
