When the team and organization collectively agree to do so. There is no timeline for, nor should there be.

A concussion would not be the medical staffs concern at this time. A concussion would have no impact in what happened Damar. It’s not that he was “knocked out” by hitting his head in this situation. Him being unresponsive is caused by is cardiac emergency. If there was concern of head trauma, a stroke/brain bleed, it would be looked at prior to cooling the patient. My understanding is it is protocol for a CT to be done prior to cooling.

I am a RN who has been in my share of codes and have administered CPR many times. As part of my job I have witnessed patients pass away. Passing away that was expected, and sudden unexpected deaths. I have had some trouble processing what I witnessed and I was not on the field watching a close personal friend go through what Damar did. Receiving life saving medical action to bring him back. CPR, intubation and being shocked. I wholeheartedly support the team in whatever decision they make. They are grown men who will make a decision about playing this weekend based on the entirety of the teams input. If they are not ready to play, that is their decision and no one has the right to say their collective decision is wrong.

The only change I see is an AED is brought to the field with every injury. Can pack it in the “go bag” and carry it on. With an injury like he had, every second counts.

I can’t think of another team that has dealt with as much adversity as this team has over the last 12 months. I don’t know any team that could handle this much adversity as this team. They are a close knit group with many player leaders and a coaching staff that truly cares for their players.

Had a long night processing what happened. Still having difficulty. I work in the medical field and have performed CPR too many times. I can’t imagine what those players, staff, media felt witnessing their friend, and teammate down on the field. People who have never witnessed CPR. It was obviously traumatic by the players reactions. Training staff/medical personnel were in a spotlight that nobody else would be in performing their job. The work they did is incredible and hopefully will enable Damar to come back from this. I have no clue how this team can even play Sunday. I hope the players, staff and organization can do what’s needed to care for themselves while caring for their teammate. Games don’t matter, Damars health does. This team is woven into the fabric of this community like none other. The emotions i feel and those I’ve read and listened to is incredibly sad. Prayers for this young man and his family and for those who are close to him.

Probably why most of us are still on this thread. Comfort being together.

I wish a non-medical person, even if he is attached to Hamlin, would not put any info out until medical staff have done what they can do for him and truly assess the situation. What we will not know, is what the long term effects will be for this young man god willing he pulls through.

Once I saw his face, it confirmed it was bad.

AED and CPR is not a neck injury. His heart stopped. Prayers to him and his family, may God care for this man.

Yes, but the fans didn’t know what happened that day. Maybe tv fans had a better idea, us in the stadium had no clue.

I looked at a different weeks tweet. Saw Van Rotten on the screen wasn’t sure.

Who’s at center tonight? Bates? NVM. Morse is on.

Happy, happy. I love night games, but not when I work the next day. Perfect if you ask me.

Go Bills!

My point was Groot, good or bad, takes the pressure off of Basham to perform. Basham does what he’s asked to do. In the rotation with other guys as part of our scheme. Dline play doesn’t drop off when he’s in. He’s played well. Now if AJ and Boogie played more downs, one could perceive they’d have better stats. That’s not this Dline. Rotation is.

No, I believe he is a nice rotational piece to our Dline. We picked Groot first, and he has proven to be an excellent player. To me, that helps take a little off the expectation off Bashsam and feel he’s where he ought to be in his development. If Groot didn’t pan out, of course it would put more pressure on Basham.

Not sure another team jumps on his contract via trade if they feel he will just be released. Has a 40 million guarantee after the season. I don’t think he is a top tier QB. Next tier, for sure. Feel the Raiders are making a terrible decision here. If it’s all about Davis not having the money, then he’s lucky to get out at a young age.

I concur. Last night seemed snowfall was not too bad. This morning? Holy schmoley! Drifts well over 3’ in the driveway. 3 foot at the apron from the street plowed overnight. I think it snowed over a foot last night. Snowblowed about 2/3 of the driveway. Enough for us to back out and get to the street and pull back in.

A called run with Rodgers? My large backside could run faster than him! 😂

Flag!

Waddle TD reminiscent of the one against us.

Not sure how it’s a surprise Wilson would be gone. Take away the off the field stories, true or not doesn’t matter. He just doesn’t have what it takes to be a NFL starter. He’s not going away quickly, someone will give him a job next year. Gotta laugh when you see someone like Purdy slaying it like he is.

Bengals loading the line on what should be a long downfield pass. No respect for mac. 😂

Pre snap shenanigans almost ran out the clock.
