It’s been over three days since Damar Hamlin had to be resuscitated on the field inside Paycor Stadium and was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and the Buffalo Bills safety is making wonderful progress.
Per the Bills and teammate Kaiir Elam, Hamlin has demonstrated that he is neurologically intact, his lungs are healing, and he’s even been awake.
Former Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Coley Harvey, who’s been covering Hamlin’s condition at UCMC, reports that Hamlin has also been holding hands with family members.

While Hamlin is still critically ill, these updates and steps of progress are incredible for someone who’s been sedated for the better part of a week now. On another positive note, Hamlin’s toy drive GoFundMe is now at over $7 million in donations, which is *calculates* 2,800 times larger than the original goal of $2,500 set in 2020.
We’ll keep you updated throughout Hamlin’s ongoing recovery.
Dr’s said his cardiac function was normal today.
Ten years ago fore.
No. I’m pretty sure you died. No one survives that.
I’m surprised he was particularly hurt with that much surface area. Must have been metal treads cutting into him. I’ve heard of people being run over by MBTs and just get pressed into the mud.
On the other hand, why did he think he could climb on moving treads that wide and still get to the cab?
Thank you, Jesus!
