Reply to comment by IBOGANAUT in Damar Hamlin awake and holding hands with family, his agency tells CNN, following his cardiac arrest during NFL game by adria2na

My guy, he just got out of a coma literally hours ago. He could be severely impaired or 100% fine. Literally impossible to know

I'm asking if he's 100% fine and makes a full recovery, are there any rules in the NFL about playing with a heart condition. I know Cardinals' DE JJ Watt played with an irregular heartbeat last year.

If it was commotio cortis then I don't think he would be considered to have a heart condition. But we still have no idea if he does have something underlying. Some things are treatable or transient. Some aren't

Yeah, even if he had nothing underlying though he might have permanent heart and or long damage. Regardless, it's fantastic he's made so much progress

This will always look wrong to me. He’s a Houston Texan 100%

Teddy Bruschi had a stroke in 2005 and played for 2 more seasons.

Yeah I was thinking that it would be down to what legal says. They might consider it to be too much of a liability.
