The Baltimore Ravens are preparing to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18. Despite that, due to the incident that happened on Monday night to Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin, the league has shown what a family it is. Each team and player has shown love and support all over social media and even donating to Hamlin’s GoFundMe page.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke to the media after Wednesday’s practice and was asked what kind of team resources they have for players after Monday night and Harbaugh explained that they have multiple avenues of support available if needed.

“We had a Zoom meeting available, and [team clinician] Dr. Tricia [Bent-Goodley] does an amazing job, and our team chaplain Johnny Shelton does a great job. We just have incredible professionals here, and they made certain resources available. I don’t know who has used the resources. I know our guys talked about it in their position rooms. That was something some of the coaches talked about; they talked a little bit about it and had a chance to kind of air their thoughts on it. So, that’s as far as we went with it. As far as their response, they’ve been great in terms of I think they understand the circumstances of it and what kind of a situation it was. They’re just very thankful that, so far, hopefully things are going to be OK. They’re hoping and praying for that, so that’s where we’re at with it.”
The NFL is such a big family that it’s great to see how everyone rallies around each other. It’s also great to see that the Ravens will do whatever they can to provide the help and support for their players knowing that they put their lives on the line each and every snap.
