Just wanted to stop in and share my best wishes - on behalf of myself and The Bengals Board - for Damar and his family. My heart goes out to them...as well as his coaches, teammates and Bills fans eve

I would say so, nuerologically intact means there is no damage to the nerves or vervous system that would otherwise cause a person not to be able to function in a neurological sense, like impaired movement or impaired thought process. It's a medical term, I believe.

Does this mean anything about brain damage? I know theres major concerns there too

Apparently there are gradations from 1-5: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCHEARTFAILURE.108.828095

 

1 and 2 are considered "neurologically intact." 1 is no effects, and 2 is moderate dysfunction. Non-NIS categories are 3, 4, and 5.

Thanks, that's a great source but I'm not sure if it's the standard of care (NIS) and how you quantify the moderate dysfunction, especially in Damar's case compared to time of discharge.

I would imagine this means no brain damage. They had a doctor on First Take, and they have said they would only use that term if the patient could move all their extrematies and was able to understand commands.

Fantastic news. Of course we don’t know what challenges he still faces, but there’s life, there’s hope, and there’s no sense in being “guardedly” optimistic. I choose to be optimistic without putting any of my own uninformed timelines on his recovery.
