I wasn't watching, just saw this on the news. My thoughts and prayers for him and his family.

I'd say it had more to do with that helmet to the chest...

He didnt die - he’s in the U of Cincinnati level one trauma center near the stadium in critical condition. I was watching live also - including what followups ESPN was doing. Nothing much to say because no one knew anything. Prayers are flying up a.l around the country for this young 24 yo cornerback.

I saw it happen. Pretty violent blow to the chess. Hope the kid pulls through.
What's crazy is that it didn't look to be that vicious of a hit.

The irony of this photo is not lost...
He did die on the field, but they revived him. However, no telling how long his heart was stopped and how much damage that caused to his brain. Time will tell, hope he makes it through unscathed and is able to get back to normal.
I certainly hope he recovers but his NFL days are over.
He's a year younger than my youngest son who was sitting right next to me while we were watching the game.
My boy had a good point right away: his blood oxygen level was likely low already from the exertion.
Hopefully his brain didn't get damaged during the tragic events.
God bless him.
A lot of people are speculating that this was something called commotio cordis. Apparently common enough in sports that its been in several medical journals back to 2012 from what I saw online.

I heard this theory as well. Chest plates will be the next gear they have to wear.
Yeah, that's gotta be it !!

Why not stretch out what really happened. Have you ever had a cardiac arrest? I have and I didn’t have any loss of blood to the brain nor did I die. Thirteen yrs ago I dropped in my living room just like this kid did on the field, under massive full cardiac arrest for nearly an hour before they could get me to the hospital. They administered CPR, 4 shots of nitro and 4 shots of morphine before the ambulance got me to the ER. Then rushed to the CathLab and here I am - no brain damage that I would admit to and no damage to the heart muscle. My wife is also a Cardio RN at a level one trauma center here and we were watching the game together.
Not trying to poke a stick at you and just be right but there‘s no benefit to anyone to broaden the story beyond what it was. Rather than debate it my wife and I are just praying for this young man like most everyone else is.
