Bart Scott has clarified his remarks about Tee Higgins.
The former NFL linebacker went viral earlier this week after saying on ESPN that Higgins lowered his helmet into Damar Hamlin’s chest on the play in which the Bills safety suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field after making a routine tackle. Hamlin has since awoken and communicated with teammates.
On ESPN New York’s “Bart & Hahn” on Wednesday, Alan Hahn asked Scott if Higgins was at fault for Hamlin’s collapse.
“Not at all,” Scott said. “This is a football play, like I said before, that you see this type of tackle 100 times in a football game. It’s just one of those unfortunate things — wrong place, wrong time. We’ve seen this happen. It’s no different from anything that happens in any other sport. It’s a freak accident, and nobody’s at fault.
