Damar Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest on the field Monday night, has been in critical condition at University of Cincinnati Hospital, here here's some positive news:

Buffalo Bills @BuffaloBills · Follow Damar Hamlin FaceTimed into our team meeting today to talk to players and coaches.

What he said to the team: “Love you boys.” ❤️

More:

Buffalo Bills @BuffaloBills · Follow Per the physicians at UCMC, Damar’s breathing tube was removed overnight. He continues to progress remarkably in his recovery.

His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team. 9:10 AM · Jan 6, 2023

From OutKick:

Damar Hamlin is awake, alert, moving, and – perhaps most significantly – talking. Hamlin's breathing tube was removed Friday for the first time since he's arrived at the hospital, and the Buffalo Bills' safety spent the morning talking with teammates and addressing the entire team via FaceTime.

I can't imagine the joy and relief of his teammates. They have to be thankful for the recovery so far.

According to doctors, Hamlin woke up neurologically intact, could move his hands and feet, and the first thing he asked via writing (he couldn't speak because of the tube) was if the Bills had won Monday's game.

This young man, from all accounts, is a remarkable and kind guy, But he's also a baller. Asking who won the game as your first concern? What a competitor. He cares about his teammates.

Friday's update is perhaps the most significant. According to the Bills' Twitter account, Hamlin's breathing tube was removed overnight and he's been able to talk with his family and with the team.

It's so encouraging to see this update from the doctors and from the Bills.

In the press conference from the hospital yesterday, doctors credited the Bills training staff and the individual who immediately administered CPR for saving Damar's life.

The NFL first suspended and then ultimately declared the game between the Bills and Bengals a no-contest, and the league has come up with a proposal on AFC playoff seedings that could include a neutral site AFC title game.

Owners will meet and vote on the proposal in a special session at noon today.

Prayers are being answered. Continue to pray for Damar's continued healing.

Just a second...I read on FR that he would be kept on life support until “they” get the story straight and then the death would be announced....

Yup, absolutely. I hope they also express some gratitude and appreciation for the medical staff on the field who resuscitated Hamlin twice and kept him alive.

The FaceTime was probably AI generated.

I read the same thing. I was surprised to see that someone, a FReeper no less, would use those terms. We are better than this.
