On here, on TV, on Twitter. This was a truly shocking play because of how routine it was.
Things will get back to normal but I'd bet money everyone on every team is going to feel weird stepping back out there this weekend. I wouldn't be shocked if some guys have a real hard time with contact this weekend. It's going to take a minute to get back in that routine where you're not thinking about that play and the game becomes natural again. Doesn't matter how old they are.

Yes, it's like getting back in the saddle after a horse bucked you off, or going into the ocean for a swim after a very rare shark attack that was in the news. The chances of another attack are extremely rare. It's a necessary part of the healing process and the sooner the better. This was an extremely rare event and with the procedures in place, it appears Damar has a good chance of survival.
