Bills safety Damar Hamlin had his breathing tube removed overnight, allowing him to begin talking to people on his own for the first time since he suffered a terrifying medical emergency during Monday night’s game against the Bengals. That included his teammates in Buffalo, whom he FaceTimed on Friday morning, the team confirmed.
Hamlin called into a Bills team meeting to speak with both players and coaches Friday, ahead of the team’s Week 18 game against the Patriots. On the FaceTime, he had a very simple, yet heartfelt message for his teammates: “Love you boys.”
Bills coach Sean McDermott confirmed that the call took place a short while later, revealing that the players weren’t aware that Hamlin would be speaking to them ahead of time.
