Hamlin's heart stopped beating for a moment and according to the physician he seems to be neurologically intact which is excellent news for the 24-year-old.
«Damar Hamlin opened his eyes last night and is responsive. Truly incredible. One thing that's very clear from speaking to those close to him: They are endlessly appreciative of the medical care given to Hamlin on the field immediately, then over the last 72 hours.»
Hamlin still has a long way to go for a full recovery, but he's definitely stepping in the right direction. Up to this point, the thoughts and prayers have made their way to the player 🙏.
