FireChans Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I know the game and the Bills performance was so bad, it's understandably what we all wanted to discuss. But I thought it was important to start a thread for Harris, who was unfortunately stretchered off and for any new updates as they come out on his condition. Hoping we hear good news shortly. "Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris was placed on a stretcher and taken off the field in an ambulance after suffering a neck injury during Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants in Orchard Park, N.Y. Harris “has movement in his arms and legs,” the Bills announced soon after he left the stadium, adding that he was being taken to a hospital for further testing. Harris gave a thumbs-up with his left hand before being placed in the ambulance." https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/10/15/damien-harris-injury-update-bills/ 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Hope we get some good news on this tomorrow. The thumbs up was encouraging. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Bills Coach Sean McDermott said during his news conference after a 14-9 win that “things are heading in a good direction right now for Damien,” based on the initial reports the team received. “It’s my understanding he has full movement right now as well,” McDermott said.

PatsFanNH Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I hope he is ok. I met him and Mac Jones at Gillette once. They both came out to watch the HS Super Bowl game being played (my daughters HS team was in it) at Gillette. I was in the first row by the entrance way they were at and well yelled down. He was pretty cool as was Jones (it was his rookie year.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Most likely a STINGER or sometimes called a BURNER. Temporary paralysis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 After the hit he was still pumping his legs trying to get the 1st. I think if it was serious he would have just collapsed. Probably a stinger. I got my medical degree from the school of hard knocks having had multiple concussions and stingers myself 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Just read that he was released from the hospital - he has pain in his neck, but "otherwise is going to be fine." Another report said it's a neck sprain. Best possible news if true, imo. 5 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakes up from the Hospital, I had the weirdest dream it was 3rd and inches and I took the hand off from shotgun and ran it up the middle and that's the last thing I remember. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporary paralysis Think it's more than a stinger. Cam Lewis went out with a stinger last night. Those are quick and temporary. Harris's injury seems more like either a neck muscle sprain or a micro-fracture vertebrae. Something more than a stinger, but not a spinal cord injury. edit: seeing now it's being reported as a strain/sprain. That makes sense. And luckily, not too bad.

It really freaked me out when he suddenly went limp on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The SOUND of the collision was brutal. But on the replay he didn't seem to get hit in the neck so I was shocked to see him not moving like that. Scary. When they said he had movement in his arms and legs, I wasn't that worried anymore TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was the ambulance/PTSD from Hamlin, but he had the same look to me before the game started. He's gone from "overhyped" to "underhyped", not sure if it's a change to his pregame routine, but he doesn't have that same intense look these past 2 weeks. Either way, hopefully Damien continues to get good news/fast recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Very happy that his injury isn't serious. But, I guess I'll be the one to say it... There should have been little doubt, even with his limited snaps, that Damien Harris would not play the entire season. He never has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerBillsFan Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I think he was out like a light. There was a quick shot where the camera was down past his legs and a trainer lifted it up and let go and it just flopped. I never thought he was paralyzed as that normally happens when you hit head down with the crown of the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
