Bills Safety Damar Hamlin Suffers Scary Injury During Monday Night Football

The game has been postponed. That is the first time that I have seen that. Hamlin took a very hard hit to the head while tackling someone. He got up and then collapsed on the field. They had to do CPR on the field he has been taken to the hospital. The last I heard he is not breathing on his own, but he still has a heartbeat.

And glad they finally decided to call the game. Who the heck would want to keep playing after that!

I would call a hit to the chin a hit to the head, but it could have been the helmet hitting the throat that caused the injury. Hard to say. And Like all I too hope the he recovers.

It sounds like you were right and I was wrong. Right now the speculation is going towards a cardiac incident caused by the strike to the chest.

His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for further testing and treatment.
