© Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports Tre Mason's mother says her son is in a bad place because of head injuries.
Returning to the football field does not appear to be in the near future for Tre Mason, and you’ll understand why when you hear what his mother told police after one of the Los Angeles Rams running back’s many run-ins with the law back in July.

TMZ obtained footage that shows some of the July 27 ATV chase Mason led Palm Beach Police on, and it features a conversation between Mason’s mom and two officers. When police told Mason’s mother Tre should be playing football, she disagreed and noted that head injuries have left her son with a “10-year-old’s mindset.”
“No, actually, he shouldn’t, because this is the football that drives everybody that nobody even knows about,” she said. “He gets knocked around and everything else. There’s CTE and this head injury thing. You can say he should be playing football, but this is not what it is. After the offseason we could clearly see the change. Like, completely.”
Mason’s mother also said Tre isn’t even aware of what is going on with his career.
“As much as he’s accomplished, as hard as he’s worked, as much as he’s built his character, in record-breaking time it’s going downhill because of what’s going on,” she said. “He doesn’t even know. He’s not conscious enough.”
Mason is obviously going through a tough time, as police have been called to his home somewhere around six times in the past five months. During one of those incidents, he allegedly made some incredibly bizarre statements and punched a hole in a wall. If head injuries are the reason for the concerning behavior, not reporting to training camp is probably the best thing for Mason.
