MNF: the Shazier injury...

Looks like he's paralyzed. Hope not, but stingers usually don't look like that.

Now a Cinci player?
Edit:He walked off field. NVM

Apparently that's how he tackles going in crown first like that. Ugh, gotta teach better tackling form especially to younger players.
Praying for him.

Still the first thing I think of when I see him playing.

I couldn't see what caused it at first. It didn't look bad until the last replay that showed his head and neck compress.
What's most concerning is how he grabbed his lower back like all that force travelled down his spine until it found a weak enough point to escape.

That's it - just like hitting a nail on the head, with the force going from the nailhead down to the end of the nail.
Tough injury to see, and I hope he's OK - but as many have posted, leading with your crown is a terrible way to tackle.

and unfortunately it caught up with him. I couldn't keep watching after that, just a nauseated feeling in the pit of my stomach, ugh.

Thats obviously for you to decide but make sure you do your homework. Concussions in soccer and hockey are also becoming a big problem. Football has a much worse perception regarding brain trauma than those sports but that is largely because scientists are just starting to turn their attention to studying the effects from those sports.

I'm don't necessarily disagree. All I'm saying is that the science is just starting to thoroughly expand into other sports.
"As for the physical effects repeated low-level head impacts have on the brain, Lipton says it's still unclear—though his 2013 study found some players who headed over 1,000 times a year had tiny structural changes in their brains. He's planning to work more with the players from his most recent study to see if and how their brains change over time."

I always chuckle at this line of thinking.

Any thoughts regarding that?

I can't imagine how his teammates can even focus enough to keep playing. The game seems so unimportant. Horrifying.

My cousin fell backwards and sustained a serious neck injury(20 years ago). He was by himself and later told us he was rubbing his neck while on the ground but felt really tired so he thought he'd sleep. He woke up screaming for neighbors cuz he could not move. He was paralyzed from the neck down.
He was moved to University of Michigan. They were so good to him. So many surgeries. I was always a Michigan football fan, but I became a University of Michigan fan through it all. Tremendous people working in that area.
Tragically he had another accident and has passed away. The way he handled his injury was inspirational to me. Life changing.

and the home crowd is a morgue. You understand why though. Ugh.

I'm not going to pretend to care about this. The guy is an asshole. He deserves what's coming to him.

Yes, there was a comment deleted. An extraordinarily shittly comment.
December 4th, 2017 at 11:33 PM ^
did the Steelers not watch their own teammate get carted off the field??? What the hell!
This game is some of the worst NFL product I've ever seen. Terrible game, in many many ways.
December 4th, 2017 at 11:44 PM ^
That was vile, on so many levels. Truly, jaw-droppingly awful. Not just the dirty hit, but the fact that he stands over the guy he may have just crippled and taunts him.
Fuck JuJu. Now and forever. I officially hate that prick.
