[SBRPhillyFlyers]

As the NFL nears an end to its long-running legal battle over concussions, new data from the nation?s largest brain bank focused on traumatic brain injury has found evidence of a degenerative brain disease in 76 of the 79 former players it?s examined.

The findings represent a more than twofold increase in the number of cases of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, that have been reported by the Department of Veterans Affairs? brain repository in Bedford, Mass.
