"It's a whole new chapter in my life and I'm ready to get on with it. I absolutely plan on coming back and starting for the Browns this season," Tucker told the newspaper.

Tucker wouldn't disclose the exact nature of his mental illness.

"A lot of things have changed as far as medications and things like that, and I haven't had any problems," Tucker told the newspaper. "Everything's been fixed. My family's doing really well, my health is excellent and I feel as good as I ever have."

Tucker, one of the Browns' captains, has been a steady leader for a rebuilding team. He was the team's most productive offensive lineman the past four seasons.

That's good to hear. Glad he found a way to cope with his mental illness. Maybe he should refer T.O. to his shrink.

Wow! Mental health issues....I wonder what the issues are or were???

Hope he has it under control.

I heard that he spent a month with Avenger talking out his issues, and with his usual charm and guile, old Av was able to straighten him out, clear his head and get him on the path to Serenity Now.
