From the article on Steve's substack:
"The medical experts I consulted believe that there is a high likelihood that Damar Hamlin was brain dead within 10 minutes after he dropped to the ground.
The primary reason for this conclusion is the 9 minutes of CPR. It is simply very rare for someone not to be brain dead at that point. Nobody I talked to has ever heard of such a case. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. It just means it is rare.
I pray that this is not the case, but I think we need to prepare for that possibility.
For example, there was no news from the hospital that his brain was still alive. This would have been uplifting news to the crowd of people waiting outside the hospital, but it was never delivered. There were no reports anywhere that Hamlin’s brain was still functioning. Why would they withhold this information?
There was also no news so far today. That is ominous."

They won't know brain function for 24+ hours. For cardiac arrest they will induce coma and hypothermia protocol. Then slowly warm the body. Not until he's rewarmed and stable can they take off sedation to assess neuro status. My guess is he will be seizing from the anoxic brain injury.
