Jalin Hyatt left Wednesday's practice due to heat-related reasons

Hopefully he had one to many the night before.

The heat up there can't be any worst than what he experienced here on a regular basis.

Plus the only football gear he had on was a helmet, no pads.

I've done roofing in 100 degree weather, working through college... but we dang sure hauled all our shingles and tarpaper onto the roof first thing in the morning! I've also played WR at the hs level, through two-a-day practices in August.

I don't know how much running, cutting, and sprinting is involved with stucco, but I promise--there's no comparison with what a wide receiver does in practice to shingle or hot tar roofing.

I can only imagine what it's like on artificial turf in an area that used to be swamp and surrounded for miles by concrete and asphalt.

So fight through it til you have a stroke and let the real men figure out who didn’t do what when? Doubt he tapped out. That’s why they have medical professionals on-site…to be smarter than those wanting to replicate Junction, TX.

The head is a primary source of heat dissipation due to the massive blood flow to the brain. Helmets insulate the heat and really cause problems in hot weather. Heat related disorders are nothing to mess with!

Yessir...when it starts "getting dark outside" at 2pm on a sunny day, or when you stop sweating and your skin goes dry, you had better grab some water and go lay down in the shade somewhere. Has happened to me several times so that now I can feel that Heat Exhaustion coming on. The next step immediately following heat exhaustion is heat stroke...which can be deadly. I have been close several times and it sucks..

Actually here in Charlotte today the temp is headed for projected 96 degrees with a heat index of 104 due to this oppressing humidity. Working outside, a man can easily stroke out on days like this even while drinking as much water as is practical...just cannot replace it as fast as your body is sweating all your water out. Also, in high humidity your sweat doesnt want to evaporate off of your skin because the air is already saturated...and if sweat doesnt evaporate then it never cools down your body from the delta T phase change. It sucks. Wish i was in Knoxville.

Yeah roofing and construction work does not come close to two a days.

Football training in the heat was like slave labor.

Luke Yeah you're up on a roof burning up, but that's not the same as sprinting around in it, with gear on for hours.

We're on pace for 98 and feels like 109 or something here in DC. I've got an afternoon run on the calendar and am already at about a gallon of water in anticipation. Been inside most of the day and am still feeling it.

Hard to acclimate to the temps we're seeing. It's 92 with a heat index of 103 here in the suburbs of Normandy. 20 minutes weeding the garden was all this old man wanted. Time to rewatch the Bammer game and watch #11 burn their D.

Man, I’ve been in and out of MN often during the summer and it can be one of the hottest places with suffocating humidity.

No doubt about it. I don’t get out in the heat of the day as much as I used to, but there’s still times where I know I’m going to have to get some things done. Learned a long time ago to hydrate well the night before. One episode of heat exhaustion taught me that. Never want to experience that again. I’m rarely without my gargantuan tumbler full of water in the summer.

Yep, August 2 a days on a dusty field with little water and temps in the 90’s. Boy I miss those.

I hate to be that "back in the day" guy... but if I died tomorrow I'm sure I'd regret for eternity missing the opportunity to be that guy at least once.

This is back when Gatorade was new, expensive, and came in a 48 oz metal can.

The state of sports medicine the last summer I did two-a-days was that drinking water will just make you throw up, so "you can have all the salt tablets you want, and you can have as much ice as will melt in your mouth during either of the 5 minute breaks."

I'm sure all of us from that era wonder why we never heard about anyone having heat stroke or a heart attack back in those days. I promise you, temps and humidity were just as high then as now, at least in Tennessee. Hydration is surely one of the many reasons athletes perform so much better today.
