Damar Hamlin, a name that echoed around the globe through the past week, finally has some good news to share. After a highly anticipated Monday Night Football game going down as one of the most tragic incidents in NFL history, the team from Buffalo was the first to break the news.
Earlier last week, on 2nd January, the Bills took on the Bengals; the game did not last for long as Damar had an accident while playing the match. The Bengals were leading the match 7-3, and someone from the Bills had to attempt to put a stop to the offense. Moreover, Damar Hamlin giving his hundred percent on the field, wasted no time tackling an attacking wide receiver Tee Higgins. Furthermore, after making the tackle, Hamlin got up only to go down again with a cardiac arrest.
Since then, Hamlin has been stuck in the hospital, waiting to recover. After a week of staying away from the field, the Buffalo Bills team and Damar Hamlin himself announce the Bills safety’s recovery and discharge from the hospital.
What did the Buffalo Bills and Damar Hamlin say?
To Begin with, on Monday, it was the Buffalo Bills first to announce the statement of UC Medical Center; in their tweet, the team from Buffalo wrote-
“We are thrilled and proud to share that Damar Hamlin has been released from the hospital and returned to Buffalo.”
“He is doing well and this is the next stage of his recovery.”
