Carson Palmer says Damar Hamlin collapse 'unlike anything I've seen'
Former NFL players Carson Palmer and Chris Valletta joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss Hamlin's injury as he remains in the hospital.
As the health of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin remains atop the minds of many in the sports world, questions still linger over what the NFL will do about the team’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The NFL postponed the game in the first quarter after play was stopped as medical personnel attended to Hamlin. The defensive back suffered a cardiac arrest and needed his heartbeat restarted on the field before being rushed to the hospital, the Bills said.

Carson Palmer, who played for the Bengals among other teams and was a three-time Pro Bowler, appeared on "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday and told co-host Brian Kilmeade he did not think the game will be resumed or replayed.
"I don’t think you can replay this game," Palmer said. "They gotta finish the Week 18 games this week then the playoffs start the following week. If they were gonna replay this game on Thursday, we’d hear about it I think at this point. Maybe you call it a wash and give each team a tie and move on."
