There have not been many updates on the condition of Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin after a terrifying incident that left him in need of life-saving CPR on the field during Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. A friend and business partner of Hamlin provided an initial update on his condition and continued to give a few vaguely optimistic updates, but now the Bills have a crucial and hopeful update to share.
On Thursday morning, the Buffalo Bills shared a statement revealing that Damar Hamlin has shown “remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours” and appears to be “neurologically intact.”
