Former AFL player Rhys Palmer has provided an update on his health on Mix 94.5's Dead Set Legends, saying he was "touch and go" at one point while in an induced coma.

Palmer was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in Perth three weeks ago and was placed in an induced coma for 48 hours.

The former Fremantle, GWS and Carlton player revealed he suffered damage to three organs - including one that was removed after being "shattered to bits" - and also lost three litres of blood.

"It's been a real whirlwind," he told Dead Set Legends.

"I sort of woke up in a hospital after just riding down to the beach on a Saturday afternoon with a friend of mine, and that was sort of the last thing I remember.

"I woke up 48 hours later on a Monday night after being in an induced coma for 48 hours."

"I hear it was really touch and go but for me, it seems I can't really remember anything."
