Can’t imagine there’s any kind of real possibility of completely changing the remainder of the schedule. Suggestions like pushing all of week 17 games out a week would be a disaster. So many people with flights and hotels and PTO already taken. Don’t see that as plausible.

Take it that's your tweet?

Thanks for the info in this thread btw.

Almost $550,000 raised.

The NFL is petrified of the backlash from social media and the media of being tone deaf. They will not play the game tomorrow if he dies or is a vegetable.

Wife says it’s possible he never at any point regained consciousness but if he had good vital signs in that scenario they could have felt comfortable waiting going to the hospital.

Says at the hospital they are probably doing some sort of cooling method (she knows the details) to minimize body functions which purposefully keeps them unconscious which requires intubation obviously. This helps minimize damage. They can run scans on the brain while he’s out to see what it looks like to determine when they will wake him up. Says he could be under that for typically up to about 24 hours before slowly waking them up. So entirely possible we hear nothing new of significance tonight.

Have them play this weekend. Sit the rest of the league a week.

Most ideal situation, he was sedated after they regained the pulse, they intubated him, and they quickly wean him off respiratory support at the hospital.

They can quickly find out if he has any brain injury.

I'm sure there are significant business reasons for them having that extra week, but that certainly could be a option.

Saying a bone broke and punctured his heart. It's just a bunch of people making guesses I assume

You gotta wonder if there was a previous injury or hit that led to this final situation…definitely praying for the young man.

It is events like this and all the brain injuries that are being reported as to why my sons did not play this sport. It is just a terrible sport in terms of long term injury.

I changed channels. They need to get off the air until there's something to report.
