The 24-year-old Buffalo Bills defenseman was transferred from Cincinnati to Buffalo General Medical Center on Monday and completed a series of tests and physicals there on Tuesday, his NFL team said on Wednesday.
“We are confident that Damar can be safely released to continue his rehabilitation at home and with the Bills,” said critical care physician Jamie Nadler, according to the release. Hamlin collapsed on the field after a routine tackle during the Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals earlier last week and required CPR after suffering cardiac arrest. The game was canceled.
Hamlin was able to watch his team’s win against the New England Patriots last Sunday from his sick bed. The Bills have made the playoffs and will face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
