Rob Heidt, Jr., MD, director of sports medicine for University Orthopaedics at the University of Cincinnati, and Angelo Colosimo, MD, team physicians for the Cincinnati Bengals, have decided to relinquish their posts as team physicians, according to a KY Post news report.
Dr. Heidt has been with the team for 27 years, and Dr. Colosimo has served with them for 12 years. Dr. Colosimo cited the "frustration of juggling team interests against demands of agents on behalf of their clients" and a desire for spending more time with his family as the reason for leaving his post.
Both physicians say the decision to relinquish responsibilities with the team were mutually exclusive.
