Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin has regained consciousness and "all cylinders are firing within his brain", according to doctors. The star was resuscitated on the pitch after suffering a cardiac arrest during Monday's game against the Bengals.
Praise has been given to the team which fought to save his life on the pitch - and medics have revealed the first question he asked after regaining consciousness. In a video press conference on Thursday doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center said he has made 'substantial improvement' in the past 24 hours.
And while he remains in intensive care at the UC hospital, according to UC medics William Knight and Timothy Pritts, he is making good progress. He remains intubated to assist with breathing with the next hurdle in his recovery process is to progress to breathing on his own, according to both doctors.
