Eric Stevens knew early on his wife was tough. Now as the former Rams player battles ALS, Amanda Stevens fights for access to experimental treatments as she helps care for her husband and prepares for the birth of their first child.

Chargers’ Joey Bosa talks about his two weeks in concussion protocol. He has no recollection of the play that knocked him out of a game on Nov. 1.

It was late in January this year, almost five months after the diagnosis. The next day, Amanda would deliver a speech at a performing arts center in Montana, and she was rehearsing in front of a half-dozen people. Amanda worried the same thing would happen on stage, that the audience wouldn’t be able to understand her, that she wouldn’t able to tell her husband’s story, that she wouldn’t be able to speak up for the families of the estimated 16,000 people fighting ALS in the U.S.Looking back, she doesn’t remember much from the speech. Everything seemed to fade to black.
