Prayers for Bills player Damar Hamlin

[Holys#!tVol1979]

Pray hard for the Bills player that just collapsed on the field! I believe it was Damar Hamlin! Breaks my heart!

Not sure what forum this is best for, but is anyone watching MNF? I’ve never seen anything like this injury. Mike Utley and others….and I’ve never seen this.

Prayers for him. It doesn’t look good at the moment

 

[m1al]

Doesn't look good. Players just left the field. I've got a bad feelin.....

 

[kiddiedoc]

Very scary. I don't think it looks good at all. Prayers for all involved.

Has to be the worst injury situation I’ve ever known of. That includes Utley, Byrd, Mullins…..anyone. Maybe Gifford back in the 50’s. This is so sad. I’m praying hard for that guy. He’s 24. So young

I didn’t catch this. Was it due to a play on the field?

He tackled Tee Higgins, got up and the fell over. They had to administer CPR on the field..

He tackled Tee Higgins, stood up and then collapsed. CPR was being administered and he was loaded into an ambulance and taken from stadium. Teams have left field and game is suspended.

We are praying hard for him in SC. Scariest thing I've ever seen on a sports field. I've worked football injuries as a paramedic for more than 40 years and haven't seen anything close to that bad.

Please Lord save that young man's life.

Been watching and definitely scary, never seen nothing like this. Prayers for him and everyone associated with football! This is devastating.

It wasn't a big hit but it's where he got hit! Impact was to the chest. He stood back up and then collapsed!

Thanks, I just turned on the game and watched the teams leave the field.
Terrible news as I send up prayers for this young man and family.

 

[Panthro]

It’s so weird watching this coverage and nobody knows what’s going to happen. Surely they’ll suspend this game.

 

[vanillagorilla]

It feels like they know more than they are letting on. Hopefully the young man is ok.

Thanks. I send up prayers to this young man and his family.

posted in the other thread - has a pulse but not breathing on his own

One of those hits that, at the time, didn't look like that much. In 60 years, I've seen what appeared to be much worse hits. That's what is so bizarre about this..

It wasn’t particularly violent at all. Bound to be a cardiac issue.

Kind of my thinking as well.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Looked cardiac to me

 

[kiddiedoc]

C spine/brainstem and you aren't getting up. I would think more likely cardiac or vascular, but dang he went down quickly.

Reminded me of Hank Gathers.

 

[m1al]

They did CPR for several minutes, so it's definitely cardiac in nature...

I know a guy that had a brain stem injury from an ATV accident. He survived, but is severely handicapped. It didn’t paralyze him though. I initially thought brain stem because he kind of got hit in the face. But cardiac seems more likely.
