NFLPA Doctor Guarantees Damar Hamlin Will Play Football Again

Thom Mayer, the medical director for the NFL Players Association, said Wednesday that he’s extremely confident Bills safety Damar Hamlin will play football again.

Mayer appeared on the SiriusXM Doctor Radio show Heart to Heart and was asked by a caller if Hamlin would be able to return to the sport. Mayer, who spent time with Hamlin while he recovered from cardiac arrest in Cincinnati, then assured the caller that Hamlin would be back on the gridiron.

“I don’t want to get into HIPAA issues, but I guarantee you that Damar Hamlin will play professional football again,” Mayer said.
