The sports world remains in shock over the frightening incident that took place on Monday Night Football earlier this week, as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in the 1st quarter of their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He received CPR along with the use of an AED before being immediately taken via ambulance to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition - though recent updates about his health have been positive.
An outpouring of support, prayer and well wishes have poured in from sports figures across all professional leagues, and now, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is offering his thoughts.
Needless to say, Jones was quite disturbed by what unfolded on the field in Cincinnati.
“It’s concern for Damar’s family, his loved ones, his teammates, that entire Bills organization and really the Bengals, as well, they were so much a part of it there," Jones said Tuesday in his weekly appearance on "Shan and RJ." on 105.3 The Fan. "It was certainly the most different thing that I’ve ever watched relative just to just the sincere outpouring of interest in Damar’s family’s well-being, and of course Damar."
Jones was also sure to praise those who acted quickly to aid Hamlin.
“It was special to see him have available the emergency care that he had, and as it turns out and as we know more, that care could have very well been a difference-maker. But we don’t know that at all, and I don’t have any data on his medical condition. But I’m so proud of everyone involved, because the only thing that was of interest to anybody was his well-being and his care and the well-being of his teammates and everybody involved.
“It was something to be real sensitive to, and I’m talking about not his well-being as much as I am just the well-being of everybody that is concerned about him. It’s great to know they're all getting the attention and care they deserve under those circumstances.”
