Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills safety who collapsed on the field after suffering cardiac arrest during a game last week, has been discharged from the New York hospital where he was admitted on Monday.
The 24-year-old safety was released from Buffalo General Medical Center in New York after showing signs of accelerated improvement in the days leading up to his release.
Hamlin was originally admitted to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and remained in critical condition there for days following the collapse, which happened on Jan. 3 as the Bills faced the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football.
The collision temporarily stopped Hamlin’s heart, the Bills said later, and he was immediately given CPR before being rushed to the hospital. After being admitted on Monday, he went through a comprehensive medical evaluation as well as a series of cardiac, neurological and vascular testing on Tuesday.
The Buffalo Bills tweeted Wednesday that Hamlin had been released from the hospital and was in good condition. The team thanked the medical staff for their care and expressed their gratitude for the support they had received from fans and the community.
