RENTON, Wash. — As Seahawks coach Pete Carroll put it, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s collapse on the field because of cardiac arrest Monday night “sent a real shock wave through all of the football world.”
But roughly 40 hours after Seahawks coaches and players watched the events in Cincinnati in shock, they tried to regain a sense of normalcy as they prepare for what is, in a football sense, their most important game of the year Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
And that effort to get back to business-as-usual — if that’s possible this week — began at 10 a.m. Wednesday as Carroll led a team meeting with team physician Jon Drezner that featured a refresher of the league’s gameday safety protocols.
