If Damar can't play again he will have a hefty injury settlement.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure injury settlements are more for allowing a team to cut a player and save on the salary cap while giving the player a portion of the salary they would have earned. It wouldn't come anywhere close to his full contract value of ~$3.5m.

But that said, I hope he makes a full recovery and is able to get a nice, fat contract in a few years. He seemed to be solidifying a role.

It was my understanding that there was additional insurance, I could be wrong.
