NFL star Damar Hamlin "trending upwards" as more details emerge of horror cardiac arrest

Damar Hamlin's uncle says the Buffalo Bills star is "trending upwards in a positive way" after he had to be resuscitated TWICE following a terrifying collapse during his side's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday.

Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest in the first quarter after taking a blow while making a routine tackle. After getting back to his feet, Hamlin fell to the ground again and lay motionless as his heart went into cardiac arrest.

The 24-year-old was resuscitated on the field by paramedics who gave him CPR and used a defibrillator to restart his heart. Hamlin was then taken to hospital, where his uncle Dorrian Glenn said he had to be resuscitated again.
