Reports: Patriots' Bruschi back in hospital
From staff reports
New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi, who suffered a stroke last month, is reportedly back in the hospital amid various — and conflicting — reports about the Super Bowl champion's health.

Tucson, Arizona, TV station KOLD said Tuesday night that Bruschi is scheduled to have surgery to repair a hole in his heart by the end of the week.

The Boston Globe reported it talked to KOLD sports director Scott Kilbury, who said he received the update on Bruschi from a "friend of the family" who has been close to the situation.

Kilbury also told the paper added that the procedure may have been performed already.

Meanwhile, a source told the Boston Herald that Bruschi returned to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment related to his condition but said it had nothing to do with his heart.

Another source said Bruschi, 31, was not at Mass. General on Tuesday night, according to the Herald.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James told the Boston newspapers information about Bruschi would have to come from his family.

Bruschi played in the Pro Bowl in Honolulu Feb. 13, three days before he was taken to the hospital after suffering headaches and reportedly blurred vision and numbness on his right side. He was released two days later.

At that time, experts said reports that he was walking and talking normally a day after the stroke were reasons to hope he could play again.

The popular Bruschi has starred on New England's Super Bowl championship teams in 2002, 2004 and this year. He also played in the 1997 NFL title game that the Patriots lost to Green Bay.

Bruschi, 31, starred for the University of Arizona from 1992-95 and has family in the area.
