cincinnati area hospital. the game was suspended a short time later. 24 year oldham lin is in the middle of his third season with the bills. he s considered one of the game s star safeties. we are praying for him and his family. let s go to my colleague and friend will cain, fox news host. fox and friends weekend will, we re obviously praying for him and his family. we saw what was happening on the field immediately. you saw those players really come together. not just one team but both teams together. will, i m told that his mom rode with him to the level one trauma center? what are your initial thoughts brother? well, lawrence, i think it s probably i think it s responsible of us that i start with this. i think this is as close to verified as we can probably trust at this moment. a man named jordan rooney who says he is in damar hamlin s camp, his marketing rep, works with damar, has given an update on damar from the hospital. it seems very, very legitimate here. he is
conference that we re expecting to give us an update but do you see any changes coming. i don t think so. i mean you look at the hit. the nfl has done everything they can. they bent over backwards to get head trauma out of the league. i was a former slot receiver. i was always the nail never the hammer. i m not a fan of the targeting rule i think it makes the nfl soft. this had nothing to do with this. he s been hit hundreds of times probably thousands of times harder than that. it was probably the wrong timing as some of the doctors said earlier, it was perhaps something going on prior, right, leading up to it. but unfortunately, and obviously this is, it s just the reality, this is a him problem and not a general population problem. because people take these hits all the time. he took these hits all the time.
but the safety position is a dangerous one but again, lawrence, i don t think you can overstate this enough. this was a freak accident. you look at that hit, you can analyze it six ways till sunday and you ask yourself how could this possibly have done this to this guy. so was there a pre-existing condition? was it the exact right moment for something this unusual to take place. all of that is yet to be answered and it s not possible, not right to speculate. lawrence: we re waiting to see if we re going to get this press conference. but michele i think you hit on an important part. they are brothers. a lot of these guys go to pop warner and go to high school and college these says players all the way up and now the nfl. so there s a mutual respect. a lot of these players, they are the ticket to not only make it
actually on a plane coincidentally traveling from buffalo and i was watching this on the plane as it was playing out. and you could feel the erieness as i had my head sets on watching this play out. but i want to pick up on the nfl. because that s already started to be part of the conversation. this seems like a typeical hit on the football field. so how do you regulate this sort of activity? how do you make the call when to end the game? how do you know when it is time to bring the docs on the field in situations. should he have been on the field. we kind of quarterback these things after the fact but we already know the nfl is under a lot of scrutiny these days. yeah. i ll try to take each one of those in order lawrence. for the nfl how do you know when the call the game. i don t know the answer to that and i m not sure the nfl did before this moment because they never encountered this moment. the nfl encountered as you know
you know, they ve made those rules to make that happen. so i m just not sure this one could have been prevented and we just don t know or won t know until all the questions areens aed about this particular injury. lawrence: yeah, michele we just need more information. yeah, we do. lawrence: looking at this hit it doesn t look different. no, it doesn t. lawrence: it looks like a regular hit. michele thanks so much for joining the program. nice to be with you. lawrence: speaking of getting information, we re bringing in our medical consultants dr. marc siegel and dr. janette neshewait. docs i m going to bring you into this conversation because it s important to have this conversation with doctors outside of the league. when you see what s happening with the league today, do you believe this is going to cause more criticism? does there need to be more testing? or are we tested out right now in the league? looks like everyone was, you know, can t you know, were on
