Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin has been ‘fully cleared’ to return to the NFL just months after horrifically suffering a cardiac arrest on the field during a game.
During the first quarter of the Bills’ crucial regular season contest against the Cincinnati Bengals on January 3, Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed to the turf after he tackled receiver Tee Higgins. The 24-year-old had to be revived on the pitch amid worrying scenes before he was rushed to the University of Cincinnati hospital.
The match was quickly suspended with players clearly unable to continue while there was a tremendous outpouring of support for Hamlin and his family as news filtered through regarding the severity of his condition. Thankfully, Hamlin remarkably recovered and was fully discharged from hospital in January while he attended Super Bowl LVII in Arizona.
