That thump to his sternum probably threw his heart out of whack. Wow.

Could be after seeing the replay several times. Seems the hits that don't look like much do the most damage.

Commotio Cordis.
There is a pulse but he cannot breathe on his own.

"Without immediate CPR and defibrillation the prognosis of commotio cordis is not very good. This condition is extremely dangerous with rare survival."

I guess so. That dude just fell back like he was knocked out by Tyson. What a way to start the year. His family must be devastated. Man oh man. Just horrible. National TV

Dr. Chao says he is getting the immediate special care that is so crucial.

Hospital.
NFL stadium.
Two "best" places for this to happen.

If Dr. Chao doesn't work for you as a source (he should), how about former Pro Wrestler Jerry Lawler-this happened to him !

Teams in locker room, pundit chatter is basically centered on the question “if” they want to play. Do they have such a choice? What would they do, play tomorrow? Does it get easier to play a different night? Maybe it does, I don’t know. Its already Monday and they will have to play again Sunday.

NFL can’t have 2 teams complete 16 games, vs rest of league with 17, right? What a cluster … rough situation.

[Heatmiser]

Just awful. As a father, my heart breaks for him and his family. Can you imagine watching this happen to your son?

I am glad the NFL has not banned prayer because it is so very important right now. Who cares about the game. Just want him to be ok.

I don't see how they can play tonight. Regardless, it will be a tough game to finish, when ever it happens.

Fifty years ago, Lions WR Chuck Hughes died of heart attack during game

Posted by Mike Florio on October 23, 2021, 11:06 AM EDT

In 102 years of NFL football, only one player ever died during a game. Fifty years ago tomorrow, Lions receiver Chuck Hughes collapsed and died.

The 28-year-old fell on the way back to the huddle after a play late in Detroit’s game against the Bears. Just a few plays earlier, Hughes had caught a 32-yard pass.

Efforts to revive him on the field failed. Hughes died of a heart attack caused by blood clots.

As explained in a comprehensive story about Hughes posted by Yahoo Sports in 2013, he actually had suffered a heart attack during the preseason. Following a game against the Bills, Hughes was taken by ambulance after collapsing in the locker room.

He then spent four days in the hospital. Hughes’s family said in 2013 that doctors thought he had an injury to his spleen, lung, or kidney. He later said he had sharp pains in his stomach and chest, but that no one could determine the cause. He insisted on continuing to play.

A half-century later, improvements in medicine and enhanced sensitivity to player health and safety likely would lead to a different outcome. That makes the sudden death of Chuck Hughes, which happened on October 24, 1971, no less tragic.

This might impact all the games for this weekend. How can the NFL play games under these circumstances?

The only thing remotely close to this for me is when Jack Tatum hit Darryl Stiingley and left him paralyzed for life. This may actually be worse, believe it or not.

Thanks Velo. I had no idea this happened. Before my time watching NFL. Very sad
