The Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has returned to Buffalo after being released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Monday. This comes after the 24-year-old player was hospitalized for a week after suffering a cardiac arrest during the Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals last Monday night.
“He is currently listed in stable condition and continues to make significant progress in his recovery,” the hospital confirmed in a public statement. According to the doctors at UC Health, Hamlin has several milestones on his journey to recovery and is now in the necessary state to be released from the hospital. Doctors revealed that Hamlin has been walking again while also participating in physical and occupational therapy and following a regular diet.
Following his return to Buffalo, Hamlin is set to undergo a series of tests to determine what caused his cardiac arrest as well as be treated for any pathology.
Upon his arrival in Buffalo, Hamlin was visited by Bills coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane. Head athletic trainer Nate Breske also visited the player, along with assistant athletic trainer Tabani Richards, who remained with Hamlin throughout the past week.
