The Bills released a statement Thursday, sharing that safety Damar Hamlin appears to be “neurologically intact” and is making steady progress, though he is still “critically ill.”
It’s the latest update for the 24-year-old, who suddenly collapsed during the first quarter of the Monday Night Football matchup against the Bengals. Hamlin, who went into cardiac arrest and was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after the incident, was resuscitated in the medical emergency’s aftermath, an event that has left the sports world reeling.
“Per the physicians caring for Damar Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Damar has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours,” the team said in its statement. “While still critically ill, he has demonstrated that he appears to be neurologically intact. His lungs continue to heal and he is making steady progress.”
