Sounds like an absolute freak thing.

People are showing their true colors right now. If you care about anything other than Damar Hamlin's well-being, you need to rethink your life.

[CSBill]

It’s really not important, but I doubt they are able to play this game.

AED and CPR is not a neck injury.

His heart stopped.

Prayers to him and his family, may God care for this man.

 

I put this elsewhere.  The brain stem is what controls heartbeat and respiration.   Injury to the brain stem can cause cardiac and respiratory arrest.  Injury to the cerebellum, just above it, can cause loss of balance/inability to stand/walk.

 

I have a friend, a hard going amateur cyclist, who had a cerebellur stroke.  He’s fine now, but it was scary.

I’ve watched the replay a few times I just can’t see anything there that looked like it would cause this type of event. It’s brutal to see the after effect. 
 

Underlying health issue, or preexisting neck injury? 
 

Prayers are with his family and friends and teammates.

This is what I think is most likely.  A heart rhythm problem could be due to a fairly common valvular problem in athletes.  A brain aneurysm that ruptured would also be preexisting but undiagnosed which is usually the case.   brain aneurysms aren't commonly screened for..

I’ll be honest… I’m kind of over this season already. Just to think the league wants more games.  Not that it would make a difference in this case but there needs to be a 2nd bye week. These dang players go through so much.

Still not a big positive update. Trachea breathing tube isn't great sign but he is still here. 🙏 

Yeah that is standard. 

In fact they may put him in hypothermia protocol as well. Depends how long it took to get a rhythm back. 

Its all about how his brain recovers from the period of hypoxia. 

[HurlyBurly51]

I don't think they can play tomorrow either if that's what some are thinking

It’s a small matter in the grand scheme of things, but the Bills simply CANNOT be punished in the W-L column because one of their players might actually die. 

Who cares.   Let’s make sure our guy lives.  That’s all I care about.  Football comes later.

Another classless punk. I hope he loses or gets fired off his stupid show

honestly all he’s saying is that the nfl wants to find a way to let guys play but it’s so inconsequential in reality 

[Nelius]

Not that it’s important but I don’t think that ESPN troll is a real person? Reads like very lame parody and very little record of him elsewhere.

They're doing their job, and their best.  Chill out.

[scuba guy]

The nfl has officially suspended the game this evening

Prayers for Hamlin. Just in shock right now

Suspended. Thank God.

Can you imagine what it's like for them? They're not news broadcasters who are trained to be solemn and serious but keep the programme flowing. None of them want to be there, doing this, right now.
