The Buffalo Bills have revealed 24-year-old Damar Hamlin has made an incredible recovery since he suffered an on-field cardiac arrest earlier this year.
On Wednesday last week he was woken from his sedation and was able to hold visitors’ hands. By Friday he was able to breathe without a ventilator and even addressed the Bills through a video call.
Medical staff immediately rushed onto the field after Hamlin suddenly collapsed and began CPR and provided oxygen. The Buffalo Bills players were rocked by Hamlin's sudden collapse during their match against the Cincinnati Bengals.
