ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” and PBS’s “Frontline” will collaborate on a year-long investigative report on concussions suffered by players in the National Football League, the networks announced Friday.
Predicated on the work of ESPN reporters Steve Fainaru and Mark Fainaru-Wada, the project will “examine the latest research on brain injuries and football, the impact on players, and the NFL’s effort to deal with a crisis that threatens the long-term health and popularity of the sport.”
The collaborative effort will begin today with a special report on Outside the Lines at 3 pm ET.
