Hamlin continues his ‘remarkable’ recovery after suffering a scary injury on ‘Monday Night Football’
Four days after arriving in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Bills safety Damar Hamlin continues to be on the road to a “remarkable” recovery, doctors announced Thursday. Hamlin, 24, suffered cardiac arrest after a tackle in Monday’s game against the Bengals, requiring CPR and resuscitation before being taken by ambulance to the hospital’s intensive care unit.
On Friday, the Bills provided a positive update on Hamlin, saying his breathing tube was removed, indicating he is breathing on his own. The team added that Hamlin “continues to progress remarkably in his recovery. His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team,” per the physicians at UCMC. Hamlin spent Friday morning talking to teammates on FaceTime and joined the Bills for their team meeting. The Bills tweeted that Hamlin’s message to Buffalo was, “Love you boys.”
