Damar Hamlin Reportedly Awake And Showing ‘Remarkable Improvement’ After Cardiac Arrest At Bills Game

The new date is January 5, 2023.

The Buffalo Bills said in a statement that safety Damar Hamlin is showing "remarkable improvement" over the past 24 hours, but he remains critically ill in a Cincinnati intensive care unit.

Hamlin has shown that he appears to be neurologically intact, as his lungs continue to heal and he is making steady progress.

Hamlin is showing more signs of improvement according to his teammate Kaiir Elam.

Indianapolis Colts safety Rodney Thomas II, a former high school teammate of Hamlin, told reporters that he believed Hamlin would walk out of the hospital.

A sudden impact to the chest wall that can cause life-threatening cardiac arrest or arrhythmia is what caused Hamlin to suffer commotio cordis. After making the tackle, Hamlin collapsed onto the field and had to be resuscitated by medical personnel from both teams. He was resuscitated on the field and taken to the intensive care unit.

Tangent

The game, which ended in the first quarter, was stopped after Hamlin collapsed, but no decision has been made on whether it will be resumed. The only thing that matters at this moment is Damar's health and well being, and there is no decision on whether it will be made up this week. The Bills are scheduled to play the New England Pats at home on Sunday, the last week of the regular season, but the league is said to be considering moving that game.

Here is what we know about the incident at the Bills game.

What is the name of the person? It could have caused Hamlin's collapse, as young athletes are at greater numbers.
