Damar Hamlin timeline from injury to return to Bills

Damar Hamlin, a safety for the Buffalo Bills, was given the all-clear to start playing again 4 1/2 months after suffering a cardiac attack and needing to be revived on the field during a game in Cincinnati.

The 25-year-old may resume playing without worrying about setbacks or difficulties, according to general manager Brandon Beane, who said Hamlin received clearance after visiting with a third and final expert last week.

Early in Buffalo’s Week 17 match against Cincinnati, Hamlin made a typical tackle attempt on Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin was struck in the chest by Higgins’ right shoulder before dragging Higgins to the ground with his arms around Higgins’ shoulder and helmet.

In a matter of seconds, Hamlin rose to his feet and appeared to fix his face mask with his right hand before falling backward and lying lifeless on the ground. Before being transported in an ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, he received medical care, including CPR, on the field for almost 20 minutes.

The Bills took a flight home while Hamlin remained in the hospital while the game was postponed before being cancelled. Following the terrifying incident that was broadcast on national television, quarterback Josh Allen tweeted, “Please pray for our brother,” which was one of several social media posts that followed.

The Bills acknowledged that Hamlin’s heart had stopped on the field before being revived and that he was still in critical condition while being sedated in the hospital.

Players from all throughout the league expressed their support for Hamlin, and Cincinnati and Orchard Park, New York, residents organized vigils. In the first 24 hours following his injury, donations of around $5.5 million were made to a GoFundMe page for Hamlin’s toy drive for youngsters.

The doctors reported that Hamlin had shown signs of recovery and was anticipated to stay in intensive care even though he was still sedated and in serious condition.

A marketing representative for Hamlin named Jordan Rooney stated that Hamlin’s health was still improving in “a positive direction” and that he and his family were upbeat.

Following the suspension of the Bills-Bengals game, NFL officials stated they were still exploring a number of options. The weekend matchup between Buffalo and New England at home, as well as the other games across the league, remained on the schedule.

Hamlin began to wake up late at night.

Doctors reported that Hamlin started writing to family members and those who were by his bedside, and that his first inquiry was, “Did we win?”

“Damar, you did win, that’s the answer. In a conference call with reporters, Dr. Timothy Pritts declared, “You’ve won the game of life. Pritts stated that Hamlin looked to have normal neurological function, which allowed him to move and obey directions.

According to Dr. William Knight IV, tests are still being conducted and the cause of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest has not yet been identified. In intensive care, Hamlin’s status was still listed as critical.

The Bills resumed practice, boosted by a rallying message on a video call from Hamlin’s father, Mario. The team’s motto went from “Pray for Damar” to “Play for Damar,” with coach Sean McDermott talking about the remarkable progress Hamlin had made.

The NFL said it would not resume the game and laid out playoff scenarios to compensate for its cancellation, which owners approved the next day.

The ventilator was turned off for Hamlin. Hamlin was able to speak and breathe on his own when he joined a Bills team meeting via videoconference. He said to his teammates, “Love you boys.”

Players, according to McDermott, rose and applauded for Hamlin. The team placed Hamlin on the season-ending injured reserve list, as was only formal.
