The Week 18 schedule has not been changed.
The Monday Night Football game was suspended after a Bills player had a cardiac arrest. Hamlin is in a critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Jordon Rooney gave an update on Monday.
Jordon Rooney @jordonrUpdate on Damar:His vitals are back to normal and they have put him to sleep to put a breathing tube down his throat. They are currently running tests.
We will provide updates as we have them.
Hamlin was taken to the hospital in the first quarter after he fell off the field. The game was temporarily halted after the players went into the locker room.
The game was going to be postponed about an hour after that.
According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the game won't be resumed soon.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreerThese are, obviously, small things compared to what's happening with Damar Hamlin. But if Bengals/Bills is declared a no-contest ...• The Bengals would win the AFC North and lock in as the 3rd seed.
• The Chiefs would be positioned to be the No. 1 seed with a win Saturday.
The Bills will host the Pats on Sunday in a game that could determine the top seed in the conference. The Baltimore Ravens are 1.5 games out of the lead in the division.
The focus of players and league personnel is on Hamlin's health and any competitive uncertainty is taken a back seat.
