Broncos prepare for finale amid emotion of Damar Hamlin’s fight to survive on-field injury: “It changes your perspective” by ParkerJGabriel
The Broncos returned to practice Wednesday shaken and unsettled, like the rest of the league, afterMedical personnel administered CPR to Hamlin for several minutes on the field and eventually transported him to a local hospital where as of Wednesday late afternoon he remained in critical condition.
“We know that injuries are going to happen and this game is a physical game,” Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson said, “but, you know, people always say they’d die for this game and everything else, but when it’s really life on the line like we saw the other night and somebody’s heart stops, it changes your perspective even that much more. It’s just, life is so much bigger than this game.
The NFL’s Week 18 slate is proceeding as scheduled, though Wednesday the league moved Cincinnati’s game against Baltimore from Saturday to Sunday. Buffalo is set to face New England on Sunday and the Broncos close their season at home against the Los Angeles Chargers. “It’s a good question. Honestly, I’m not sure,” Simmons said. “Me personally, I’ve had a lot of conversations with the guys . It happened to our position, right? We play that position, we’ve taken hits and given hits much worse than that one seemed and I think that’s the scariest part, watching that.Denver’s closest connection to Hamlin is rookie cornerback Damarri Mathis, who played in the same secondary with him at Pittsburgh.
