Damar Hamlin spent time in the Buffalo Bills locker room ahead of their clash with the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL playoffs on Sunday.
During the Bills’ crucial regular season finale against the Bengals on January 3, Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest and fell to the turf midway through the first quarter after he tackled receiver Tee Higgins. It appeared to be an innocuous tackle but the 24-year-old had to be revived on the field amid worrying scenes before he was rushed to the University of Cincinnati hospital.
The match was quickly suspended with players clearly unable to continue while there was a tremendous outpouring of support for Hamlin and his family as news filtered through regarding the severity of his condition. Thankfully, Hamlin remarkably recovered and has been fully discharged from hospital.
