Tulane has set up this webpage to keep everyone updated on how he is doing

Sorry if already posted or if no one really cares, but I thought I would share if anyone did want to bookmark

Currently, he had surgery yesterday afternoon and is in ICU recovering. Will be a few days before they will know what's next for him

Prayers continued for this great young man

NOLA article - lots of good information

quote:

Tulane senior safety Devon Walker is alert and responsive after undergoing a three-hour surgery Sunday to stabilize his fractured cervical vertebrae, Green Wave Athletic Director Rick Dickson said Monday.

Dickson, a Tulsa native, said he has suspended many of his normal duties to be with Walker and his family at the hospital.
“I’ve seen him repeatedly and I can tell you he was cognitive of those around him and able to be responsive to physicians and the medical staff treating him,” Dickson said.


You can also buy a T-shirt to support Devon. Those medical bills won't be cheap!

Is this the first "broken neck" in football? In a while?

I really don't remember ever having seen that before

Eric Legrand

There was also a Washington player a while back who became a quadraplegic and later died. Really horrible story

yeah Legrand, the rutgers player, was the last one I believe.

Also the guy that played for the Bills, but I can't remember if he actually broke his neck.
