Damar Hamlin has broken his silence and spoken for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest on the field during the Buffalo Bills' Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati bengals.
Hamlin took a hit from Bengals receiver Tee Higgins and suffered a cardiac arrest almost immediately. Paramedics rushed onto the field to restart his heart using CPR and a defibrillator, before taking him to the University of Cincinnati Hospital for further treatment.
After he was released, Hamlin was in attendance as the Bills' season ended at the hands of the Bengals last week, but the 24-year-old safety didn't give any interviews at the game. Instead, he released a lengthy video to his Instagram account on Saturday night to explain where he was in his recovery, and to thank those who cared for him in his hour of need.
