Dolphins star QB Tua got concussed on Sunday (they called it a 'back injury') was allowed to play Thursday night and then this happened.
NFL lead the way in a lot of things - not in regards to concussion management.
This makes me think of Any Given Sunday and how James Woods played the rogue doctor.
A bad update for Tua.
He is in concussion protocol again. 3rd time in a season.
Surely he's shut down for the rest of the season and has to at least contemplate retirement.

The 2023 QB carousel is making an early start. The raiders bench Carr for the rest of the season. Officially they're saying this is about getting 'the best chance to win', but really this is about cap hits.
If Carr gets injured they're on the hock for 40 million. If he's on the roster on 15 Feb they're also on the hock for 40 million. I expect the Raiders to be frantically shopping Carr at the moment. But he has a no trade clause so it's going to be tricky because he'll have to agree to the destination. I can see the raiders cutting him.
He's difficult to assess at the moment. His career numbers are solid - borderline top ten. This year he's been bad, despite the addition of Adams. But his defence has stunk and he's been missing Darren Waller. Plus Josh McDaniels is the HC and ignoring years when Brady is his QB he has an awful record. He's probably good enough that a team will bite and offer the raiders something (day 2 pick and change) and then restructure him (3 years, 90m, mostly guaranteed).

Carr has next Stafford written all over him

Raiders have been a poor team for most of his tenure. I read that his stats put him in the top 10 QBs. Someone will want to take a chance on him

MNF.
Damar Hamlin of the Bills collapses after a routine tackle. 9 minutes of CPR, then into an ambulance. It's terrifying - game postponed. Incredible scenes I have never seen before.
Amazing scenes alright.
On the competition side this has an impact on the division outcomes. Not that anyone is worried about that at the moment but it may make things complicated for the playoffs and the officials are going to have to make some big calls.

Watching it live it didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary other than getting hit flush in the chest. Damar was able to get up but then collapsed immediately after.
Took me back to Hank Gathers.

Frankly, I'm really struggling to process this. It looks like a cardiac type injury - heart attack or similar - but goddamn.
Injuries are part of watching,a nd I was literally talking to my Bengals supporting mate about struggling to see big hits and watch teh sport ... and then this happens. The players looked devastated.
Crazy times.

The GoFundMe page Damar ran is about to tick over $1M of a $2500 goal.
Bills Mafia are awesome
That was for a Toy Drive for the local community.

Sounds like another Christian Erikson situation

Slight OT: how good are these college football playoff games. That TCU win over Michigan was huge. Emari Demercado was a beast.
Then Georgia hang on for a nail biter against Ohio State, who I wanted to go all the way.
That Tulane win over USC was big time too.
Would love TCU to get over the Bulldogs and cause a big upset.

Jim Harbaugh comes up short in a championship game. Story of his coaching career.
Be interesting if he goes back to the NFL (rumour is Broncos are interested).

@ACT-Crusader It would have been good to have an all Big 10 final.

Some speculation.
Was it a helmet to chest hit? I am always puzzled by the NFL rationale that they need helmets for protection and yet so often they are used offensively
