[QUOTE="Cuseregular, post: 1482574, member: 185"]
you know zero about medicine with that statement.  That was the equivalent of a high speed MVA with that impact as was falling forward with a hit and was jacked backward into severe hyperextenstion.

He'll be getting a full neurologic workup this week including MRI's and MRA's (mri of the arteries).  Theres reported cases of artery damage and stroke from simple hair washing at salons so with that level of impact once he's cleared on the field for acute fracture/dislocations and allowed to walk off he's now entering the next phase of diagnostic work.

Once they see the replay you're probably gonna see him with a collar on until he's cleared of the potentially more severe post injury sequela, things like slow bleeds and other God forbid things. The concussive effect is only one of the things you worry about with that type and severity of trauma, he's going to be sore as heck in in his neck a day or two at the very least.  Then being a dr. type who teaches neuroscience we error on the side of hypercautiousness where we worry about other neurologic disturbances as mild as post concussive headaches or as severe as visual field disturbances.  I'm going to keep him in my prayers for all to go well and complete recovery from hopefully just a mild whiplash and mild concussion and nothing worse.  That's best case scenario.  Cross our fingers.
