Detroit Lions CB Saivion Smith "Collapses" on Field During NFL Game - Father Rides in Ambulance
Saivion Smith, a cornerback for the Detroit Lions, “collapses” on the field today during a game in New England. An ambulance was brought on the field, and in something the announcers “haven’t seen”, they gestured to someone to bring his father down from...
Much different injury though. Smith's was neck/spine related, and I from what I can gather it seems he had a pulse and was breathing, even if he was unresponsive ("unable to move or talk for several minutes").
The same story with slight differences was given for Damar Hamlin ( "has a pulse" ). The whole thing is fishy af. Like I said in another reply, I'm not trying to sound crazy, but give me a good reason why the NFL wouldn't just lie. How would any of us know what happened in that ambulance? I'm sorry, but I can't just take what these talking heads tell us as absolute.
I didn't hear anything about Hamlin having a pulse? I'm withholding judgement on his situation for the time being, although I agree there is some fishiness especially with the Feds now being involved (per Gateway Pundit).
For Savion Smith though, there's little-to-no evidence that it wasn't anything except a spinal injury:

And that's not coming from NFL talking heads. Occam's Razor supports it as spinal trauma too (not the case for Hamlin given the particulars of the hit).
Because CPR has almost never (if not never) been administered during NFL game
