"Damar is a fighter and he's fighting and he's gonna keep fighting and we know our teammate and he is one of the strongest guys," said Dawkins on CNN.
"He's going to keep fighting and he's gonna make it and he's going to just keep pushing and keep pushing because that's what we're all built for, and that's what he's been built for, He's still giving it his own to the second and we're here with him."
