Commotio cordis (Latin, "agitation of the heart") is an often lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region), at a critical time during the cycle of a heart beat causing cardiac arrest.

we might have witnessed the freakiest injury in NFL history last night.

I haven't seen anyone say that's what happened to him. Where did you see that? 

Educated guess. 

All they said was he was evaluated for a concussion. If he really did suffer cardiac arrest, they wouldn't be able to diagnose that right away. They have to give a reason he's left the game, and "uh maybe a concussion" is an understandable reason.  

Fits the symptoms of panic and shortness of breath.

Interesting. I'd take that over a concussion. And yeah, that would scare the poo out of me if I was him

That was my first impression last night, without the Latin diagnosis. A sharp blow to the chest like he took can disrupt the heart rhythm. And he took that helmet shot almost exactly where his heart is. He was gasping for breath and I first thought he'd had the wind knocked out of him, but the look in his eyes was something a lot worse.

The concussion is what everyone is talking about, but I don't think that was what happened. I think Fiz has the right diagnosis.

Scary thing to go through, but hopefully just temporary. I bet there's a helluva bruise there today.

I've heard of this with kids getting hit in the chest with baseballs, etc...

 

Had it been something cardiac, wouldn't they have been working on him on the field?  They cut away on the broadcast, but wouldn't someone have seen something?  He seemed to be moving around a lot, ie, not unconscious.

Not really.  Being out of rhythm would be tough for anyone without diagnostics to tell.....were it to stop beating you would have known right away.

Might not have been full on, just enough to horrify him. 

Regardless i don't think sideline doctors are really set up to defibulate at midfield. 

More likely they had no idea what the fug happened at first.

Defibrillate. And yes they can with a device called an AED

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
