Damar Hamlin is apparently set to make his season debut roughly nine months after his terrifying on-field collapse late last season.
Hamlin is expected to play for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in their game against the Miami Dolphins at Highmark Stadium, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The report came shortly after the Bills ruled safety Jordan Poyer, who is dealing with a knee injury, out of the matchup.
Hamlin has been inactive for the Bills’ first three games of the season but has been considered a healthy scratch. If he does take the field Sunday afternoon, his remarkable comeback will be officially complete.
Hamlin experienced cardiac arrest on the field after he took a hit to the chest during the Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals last season. He was resuscitated on the field and transported to a local hospital. The game was suspended.
Hamlin was later transported to a hospital in Buffalo and discharged just nine days later. He attended the Bills’ playoff game against the Bengals later that month. Hamlin was fully cleared by doctors and started training with the team again this summer. He played in all three of the team's preseason games and has been waiting to make his debut since making the 53-man roster.
Hamlin had 91 total tackles last season with the Bills, who selected him in the sixth round of the draft in 2021 out of Pittsburgh. The 25-year-old is in the third year of his four-year, $3.6 million deal.
The Bills are coming off a 37-3 win over the Washington Commanders last week. Poyer went down in that game and missed practice all week due to the knee injury. Safeties Taylor Rapp and Micah Hyde are expected to help fill in for Poyer — who has 14 tackles so far this season — along with Hamlin on Sunday. The Dolphins, who rolled over the Denver Broncos in a historic 70-20 win, have lost 11 of their past 13 games against the Bills.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
