The Buffalo Bills have been given a much-needed boost of hope this weekend as safety Damar Hamlin continues to make a remarkable recovery from his cardiac arrest on the field earlier this week.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement on Saturday praising the medical personnel and staff from both teams whose emergency action likely saved Hamlin’s life. Hamlin, 24, was sedated and placed on a ventilator after his collapse on Monday, but has since been able to have his breathing tube removed and is now speaking to family, physicians and teammates.
The Bills players were especially encouraged by a video call with Hamlin on Friday morning. “Literally that’s all we needed,” said Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins. “Love you boys,” Hamlin told his team.
The news of Hamlin’s progress has been welcomed by the entire NFL and football fans across the country. The Bills are now preparing for their matchup against the New England Patriots on Sunday, with the team’s spirits lifted by the encouraging news of their teammate’s recovery.

- Damar Hamlin has made a remarkable recovery from his cardiac arrest on the field earlier this week.
