It was Rosier syndrome....a serious but not fatal ailment that occurs when you have an excessive amount of whiplash due to football passes being overthrown and underthrown towards you. Can be aggravated by getting hit at a very high velocity by a 225 pound Safety.What exactly is his specific neck condition?
Was it ever revealed?

Feel so bad for those guys. I broke a vertebrae but in my lower back so not as serious. Feel the effects most days, can’t imagine how it’s affected them.Pretty sure it was something like Malek. Cracked vertebrae. Don't know if either had surgery, but my guess would be neither did, because the risk was too high. Which would then mean neither could play football again.

Don’t know about AR2 but Malek definitely had surgery. At beginning of season ESPN did a segment on him and how he was still being part of the program. The segment starts off with him picking up his hair to show off the huge scar down the back of his neck. They also showed clips of him in hospital before going into the surgery.
