GREEN BAY -- Former Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson announced in a statement on Wednesday, May 8 that he has been diagnosed with autonomic disorder.
Autonomic disorders affect the nerves that control bodily functions and can manifest as dizziness, digestive disorders, fatigue and blood pressure issues.
Thompson's complete statement as posted on Packers.com is below:
The 66-year-old played 146 games over 10 seasons as a linebacker with the Houston Oilers from 1975-1984. He worked in Green Bay's front office from 1992-99 and from 2005 on, with a stint in between as Seattle's vice president of football operations.
Thompson was part of two Packers Super Bowl titles and inducted into the franchise's hall of fame last weekend.
