Bills safety Damar Hamlin making progress, shows neurological signs

Bills S Damar Hamlin is still in critical condition, but according to the Buffalo Bills organization, he is making progress.

Mario Hamlin, Damar's father, did address the Bills team via a Zoom call yesterday. One source told me it was "emotional" but added some "calm" to what has been a very difficult situation. "This isn't easy," the source said, but we are "doing this together."

In a statement released by the organization, Hamlin is showing signs of improvement:

“Per the physicians caring for Damar Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Damar has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours,” the statement read. “While still critically ill, he has demonstrated that he appears to be neurologically intact. His lungs continue to heal and he is making steady progress. We are grateful for the love and support we have received.”

Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field during Monday night’s game against the Bengals. CPR was administered to the 24-year-old football player and his heartbeat was restored on the field.

#Bills S 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.

A teammate of Hamlin, cornerback Kaiir Elam, is awake in the hospital, he said in a tweet.

Our boy is doing better, awake and showing more signs of improvement. Thank you God. Keep the prayers coming please. All love 3!
