Bills safety Damar Hamlin said he returned to Buffalo to continue his recovery, a week after going into cardiac arrest and having to be resuscitated on the field during a game in Cincinnati.
FILE – Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin leaves the field after an NFL football game against the New England Patriots, Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022, in Foxborough, Mass. Bills safety Damar Hamlin said he returned to Buffalo on Monday “with a lot of love on my heart” to continue his recovery in a hospital there, a week after going into cardiac arrest and having to be resuscitated on the field during a game in Cincinnati.
Doctors said Hamlin has been walking since having a breathing tube removed on Friday, eating regular food and undergoing therapy. They said he was on a normal or even accelerated trajectory in his recovery from cardiac arrest, which is considered a life-threatening event, and that normal recovery can be measured from weeks to months.Hamlin’s return comes a day after he cheered on the Bills from his hospital bed during their regular season-ending 35-23 win over the New England Patriots.
Pritts said it was still premature to comment on the potential cause of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest and that more testing would be done. “The same love you all have shown me is the same love that I plan to put back into the world n more,” Hamlin tweeted Monday. The 24-year-old from the Pittsburgh area has made significant progress in his recovery since spending his first two days at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center under sedation and breathing through a ventilator.
Pritts said doctors were able to upgrade his condition from critical on Monday, clearing the way for the flight home.
