Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been medically cleared to play football again after experiencing cardiac arrest during a game last season, the NFL team announced.

Brandon Beane, the team’s general manager, made the announcement on Tuesday, saying the second-year player met with three specialists during the offseason, and they came to an agreement he cleared the necessary protocols.

“They’re all in lockstep of what this was and that he has cleared to resume full activities, just like anyone else who was coming back from an injury or whatever,” Beane said during a press conference.

“So he’s … he’s fully cleared. He’s here, and he is of the mindset, he’s in a great headspace to come back in and make his return,” Beane added.

Damar Hamlin will not say what caused his heart to stop. Michael strahan - "That's something I want to stay away from."

He will die in the upcoming season and the news media will still not blame the deadly vaccine.

If he dies in the upcoming season, the blame will be his, and his alone.

Not smart at all. No matter how rare it is, having it happen once increases the risk of it happening again.

The Q Anon Shaman fired a spitball at his chest....causing commodio cortis. He couldn’t remember during the GMA interview. But then Joe Biden whispered “5 cops were killed on Jan 6” in his ear, and it all came back to him.

Happened to Chris Pronger, not as bad, they didn’t have to do compressions. He played another decade, no problems. Freak hits are freaky.

He said himself in his press conference today that his doctors all told him it was commotio cordis

“…just like anyone else who was coming back from an injury or whatever,” “

It’s that “whatever” which would worry me.

What about rioting in Chicago? That’s pretty safe.

>>How often does impact to the left side of a chest happen in a football game???<<

Perhaps he should ask the coach to place him in position where he only gets hit on his right chest.

It usually is at a specific site on the chest, and it has to occur during a certain time period during the repolarization of the ventricles of the heart...that’s why it doesn’t occur all the time...but in his case...hmmmm...Next time, he might not be so fortunate. I don’t know if they biopsied his heart muscle to look for any evidence of myocarditis...and did he get heart muscle damage that would really stress his heart during extreme athletic activity?
Sometimes, they clear money making athletes where they wouldn’t clear an amateur./.. wish him the best...

You don’t seem to understand. Even when it’s not the vaccine it’s the vaccine to some

If I was his mother...I’d send him to his room until he came to his senses.

If it was CC, then the odds of it happening again are extremely slim. But I think it was really a clot that the doctor pulled out.

I tend to agree with your statement, he has a known health problem that can’t be fixed. No idea how to tell someone with a fatal dream how to go another direction.

An award for keeping his mouth shut.

Yup, a real profile in courage.

No word when he’ll play again.

Go figure.

It has to be impact in a specific spot at just the right time in the cardiac cycle down to the thousandth of a second. It is akin to being hit by lightening. It or not just a simple blow to the chest.
