did the ball hit off his head? or his shoulder? they keep saying his head, but never really showed a good replay.

I think it was his shoulder/upper back/lower neck area.

 

At first, it seemed like it went off his head. Scary moment.

 

Correction: they're saying it was his head.

Side of his head, up and to the rear of his left ear.

How did that not appear to hurt? He got hit by a line drive in the head, and it didn't appear to have had any impact - WTF?

It's the hardest part of his entire body probably...just got really lucky.

 

And I am sure it did hurt, and will hurt tonight/tomorrow.

It's probably going to wind up doing more damage than anyone realizes right now.

The skull itself will bruise but there isn't a lot of tissue right there to damage. the issue is the impact on the brain, which is poorly understood at best. They at least did the basic concussion tests but people fight those.

Yeah, I'm kind of shocked he's still in the game right now. What if he were to have some sort of after-effects and just lose his fine motor skills? He could end up beaning someone else in the head...

Since he's showing no symptoms that's probably a low risk, but the NFL suggests that's one of those things that causes cumulative damage.
