The team meeting was at once informative and comforting for the players and coaches as they began preparations for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
COSTA MESA — Before they went back to work Wednesday, before they returned to their practice field for a walk-through, the Chargers’ players and coaches met to discuss what happened to safety Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills during Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Watching what happened to Hamlin brought back difficult memories for Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr., who suffered a concussion and had to be hospitalized after the back of his head struck the turf violently while he attempted to catch a pass in a Dec. 16, 2021 game at SoFi Stadium. “You can’t necessarily promise you’re going to be OK,” Tranquill said. “Every Sunday I go out there, my wife’s always praying for God’s bubble wrap to be around me. … It makes you think, like, ‘Wow, that could happen.’ It seemed like a normal play. Just a nice play over the middle. Tee makes physical contact. Damar makes a physical tackle. The next thing you know he’s collapsed. It’s really, really sad.
Said Staley: “I think that’s one of the things everyone is discovering, how incredible the response was. The poise and the level of expertise, the capacity of the people on the field that night and what they were able to do. They’re well-trained. I think all of us can take a huge lesson from that.”
