“Feeling Some Chest Pains”: Diagnosed With Pericarditis, 24YO Teammate’s Heartbreaking Shocker Gets a Healing Touch From $245M Russell Wilson

A somber atmosphere engulfed the Bronco Nation as they received distressing news. Recently, the 24-year-old teammate of Russell Wilson revealed his medical condition, sending shockwaves through the team and fans alike. In a touching response, the Denver Broncos QB penned a heartfelt healing message for his teammate, offering support during this difficult time.

K. J. Hamler, the 2020 second-round draft pick from Penn State, has made the heart-wrenching decision to step away from the NFL for some time. This decision comes as a result of a non-football illness, which ultimately led to the Broncos waiving him on Monday. Unfortunately, this is not the first time Hamler has faced medical challenges; in 2021, he suffered a torn ACL, and in 2022, a hamstring injury kept him sidelined for a significant portion of the season. As he began the 2023 season, Hamler experienced yet another setback, marking another crucial medical hurdle in his 23-year career.

Hamler’s brave revelation!

The Denver Broncos have released wide receiver K. J. Hamler from their roster, using a non-football illness designation, following his revelation on Monday about being diagnosed with a heart condition. In an Instagram post, Hamler disclosed, “After feeling some chest pains while working out on the break before camp started, I got everything checked out and was diagnosed with mild heart irritation, called pericarditis.”

Pericarditis refers to inflammation in the tissue lining the heart and is often linked to respiratory infections or conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Despite facing this challenging situation, Hamler showed resilience, stating, “It’s tough to deal with this when I was ready for a breakout year, but adversity is nothing new to me. I have been through hell and back…..”
