This is friggin incredible.  So damn happy right now for Damar, his family, friends, teammates and coaches.

 

Thank you to the training staff, first responders and doctors/nurses/therapists ❤️

They just said on NFL Network that he has been facetiming with people all morning and is currently having a facetime meeting with the Bills.

I imagine many tears of joy were shed during that call.  Awesome.

Led by....  Damar himself.  Imagine if Damar came walking out of that tunnel Sunday?

 

I think that's a Bridge Too Far

 

It's not inconceivable that he might be ready to transfer out of the ICU this weekend and transfer to a rehab facility either in Buffalo, closer to his teammates, or in Pittsburgh, closer to his family, next week. 

 

But let's leave him where he can still be monitored closely for a minute or two yet.

Definitely there will be a video message. Won’t be a dry eye in the stadium.

Most likely true.  But it seemed to me, based on the doctors PC, that the next step after getting him off of ventilation was getting him home with his family.  I didn't hear anything about the additional step of a rehab facility

Straight up miracle!

I’d put a video of him together and play it on the Jumbotron.

It makes total sense that we'd hope he's healthy enough to walk out on the field on Sunday. But it might take more time, and that's ok too.

One aspect that hasn't been brought up that much is how impactful the whole situation has been on the Bengals players as well. They were just talking about that on NFLN where they said the Bengals didn't practice at all until yesterday. The one reporter said she asked Joe Mixon earlier in the week if he would be ready to take the field on Sunday and he straight up said no. The recovery news has to be uplifting to them too, especially considering they have to go right back on the same field this weekend.
