Pray for Damar

Truly a sad situation. Hopefully he is able to survive this incident. Very scary to watch, can't imagine what it was like for the players on the field. Horrible.
Holy cow. I just turned it on. What happened? Was it football related or did he just collapse?
There was a collision. But mild by “huge hit” standards. He got up immediately then collapsed immediately. And not a brace yourself slow on the way down. Straight fall to the ground.
Among the worst things I’ve ever seen. Only thing close are the couple hockey players who got hit with a skate blade because you know the result if that doesn’t get under control quickly.
Not a doctor, but it looked like a heart attack or something? The hit wasn't some crazy hard devastating hit. It didn't look like he hit his head or neck at all, they are saying maybe he took a hit ot his chest from the other guy or the ground?
I saw it once which was one too many. But it did appear to me he did get hit in the chest on the tackle.
Astonishing. Never heard of the clown. Which might explain a lot. A back office hack who never got any exposure. He probably wanted to get fired/let out of his contract. Make himself a “shock jock” rep.
I know I'm biased but when kids stay home, I really think they have pretty special character. And you see that a higher percentage of these kids make the NFL than the ones who leave the state. Hamlin, Boyd, Jackson, Donald, even guys who didnt make it from that era like Tipton.....seem like unbelievable people. Heck, some of those guys including Damar were doing free camps and kickball fundraisers this summer in Pgh. They dont need to do that.

Bills' Damar Hamlin has shown 'signs of improvement,' still in critical condition, team says

Good news, thanks for the update.Promising update:

Damar was just such a loyal Pitt guy, it is still mind numbing to think this happened to him. Someone with far better skills than me should string together some of his highlights for the PittWire site or even for rivals.
I’ve been distracted the last few days waiting for good news. I hope the good news from this morning quickly becomes really good news with him on his way to recovery.
Seeing mentions this morning on twitter, apparently being reported from a Bills teammate, that Damar is awake this morning and doing better. I hope we get an official report soon verifying it.
Also seeing a tweet from the Bills that he is neurologically intact and his lungs are healing .

This is unbelievably good news. The training staff, first responders, doctors, nurses, etc performed a miracle here.
Awesome news and the power of prayer is such a powerful as well wonderful thing 🙏. God Bless him moving forward H2P!!
Damar is short for MIRACLE- extremely thankful to the doctors, nurses, athletic trainers, and EMT respondents for keeping him alive!!
Can we take it that "neurologically intact" means that he is out of the woods as far as brain damage is concerned?
I hope this is true. I have been so worried these last few days like he's a family member. I have probably googled this hundreds of times hoping for a good update.
Same.
As far as his neurological status, it sounds like he’s been able to squeeze family members hands when prompted (based on what his agent said). I’m sure there is a chance there could still be some level of impairment. But at this point it at least looks like he’s gotten over the most critical hurdles.
Good news

Damar Hamlin is awake and holding hands with family, his agent tells CNN, days after his cardiac arrest during NFL game | CNN
Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin is awake in a Cincinnati hospital, his agent and a teammate said Thursday morning, eliciting immediate relief and joy from supporters across the nation three days after the 24-year-old's in-game cardiac arrest.
Yea, there still can be some level of impairment but if he can get back to having a somewhat normal life, that would be unbelievable. I keep picturing him on the field being honored at Acrisure next year.
Apparently he can write but not talk (given the vent) and one of his first questions was if the Bills won Monday. So it sounds like he is indeed pretty intact neurologically.
Is that true? If so, it indicates that he knows where he is and has memory. Definitely positive indicators.
