Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin has posted on social media for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest during an NFL match on Monday.
During the crucial clash between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, Hamlin collapsed on the turf midway through the first quarter. The 24-year-old fell after making a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins and had to be revived on the field before he was rushed to the University of Cincinnati hospital.
The match was understandably suspended as no players were in the right state to continue playing, while there was a tsunami of support for Hamlin and his family in the aftermath of the worrying scene. On Thursday, University of Cincinnati Health physicians Dr. Timothy Pritts and Dr. William Knight announced Hamlin began to wake up that morning, while they confirmed his neurological function was intact.
