Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin has spoken to his team-mates and is breathing without the aid of a tube as he continues his recovery.
The Bills confirmed that Hamlin has had the breathing tube removed from his throat, and is also communicating with those around him. Hamlin video called his entire team on Friday morning, and said: "Love you boys."
It's a radical update after University of Cincinnati Health physicians Dr. Timothy Pritts and Dr. William Knight only addressed the media on Thursday. Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during the first quarter of the match between the Bills and the Cincinnatti Bengals on Monday, and has been hospitalised ever since.
