Bell’s palsy is a neurological disorder that causes paralysis or weakness to one side of the face. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke says Bell’s palsy results from dysfunction of cranial nerve VII, which connects your brain to the muscles that control facial expression. “It was a challenge,” Wallace told Varley. “It just took some getting used to. But I never wanted it to be a crutch in my performance, so it was what it was. … “Not too many people know I played with Bell’s palsy and was still recovering from it a little bit at the end of the season. It was definitely an interesting season. I knew it wasn’t more than I could handle, and I know that God was never going to give me more than what I could handle. Just a blessing to still be able to play with that impairment throughout the season.”
