Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin remains in a critical condition after suffering a heart attack during his side’s NFL encounter with Cincinnati Bengals on Monday (January 2).
The 24-year-old safety had to be resuscitated twice after collapsing on the field after tackling opposition receiver Tee Higgens in the first quarter. He managed to get up briefly before falling backwards to the ground and laying motionless.
Hamlin received on-field medical attention for more than 30 minutes before being taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The Bills confirmed he had suffered a cardiac arrest and said that his heartbeat was restored on the field on Monday.
