In a recent NFL game, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin made what seemed like a routine tackle on Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Unfortunately, this hit resulted in Tua suffering a concussion, bringing back memories of Hamlin’s own traumatic experience on the field.
Hamlin, who had a life-threatening incident in 2022, shared his thoughts after the game. “I was just trying to make a routine tackle,” he said. “It’s trauma. It will always be there.” Hamlin emphasized that despite the trauma, he has worked hard to overcome it through therapy and support.
The incident occurred during a fourth-down play when Tua lowered his head and collided with Hamlin. This led to Tua’s third documented concussion in two years. Hamlin expressed his concern and the emotional impact of being involved in such incidents, highlighting the mental and physical challenges athletes face.
