Bills S Damar Hamlin showing 'signs of improvement,' team to have meetings and walkthrough

Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, but there looks to be some good news on the way. The Bills said Hamlin showed "signs of progress" on Tuesday and into Wednesday. He will stay in the intensive care unit for the time being. That update backs with a previous account in which a family friend, Jordon Rooney, claimed Hamlin had "good readings" overnight.


Rooney, who issued an official statement on behalf of the Hamlin family on Tuesday, also tried to explain some recent inaccurate information. Yesterday, Hamlin's uncle told CNN that Hamlin had to be resuscitated twice: once on the field and once at the hospital. But, according to Rooney, as reported by ESPN's Coley Harvey, Hamlin's heart stopped only on the field at Paycor Stadium.


Hamlin fell in the first quarter of Monday night's Bills-Bengals game after being struck straight in the chest by Higgins while attempting to tackle him. He fell into cardiac arrest and had to be revived on the field by emergency professionals. They also gave him CPR for nearly 10 minutes before loading him.


Bills to have walkthrough, not ready to talk with media

In light of Hamlin's condition, several teams changed their schedules on Tuesday and canceled or postponed media appearances. The Bills, on the other hand, are coping with a significantly larger interruption in their weekly routine. The Bills didn't return to Buffalo until 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, according to The MMQB's Albert Breer, and only returned to the facility later in the day to obtain information. The organization is gradually resuming its normal operations. It said on Wednesday that it will host player meetings and a walkthrough, but will not speak to the media at this time.
