TIA, a Transient Ischemic Attack, is, according to the American Stroke Association, "often called a mini-stroke, but it's really a major warning. ... TIAs may signal a full-blown stroke ahead."

Bruschi suffered his first stroke in 2005 when he was still a member of the Patriots organization. 

Joe Kayata of NBC-10 Boston reported later on Friday that Bruschi was released from the hospital and is resting at home with his family.
