what happened to damar hamlin

Damar Hamlin is a safety for the Buffalo Bills who suffered a cardiac arrest after making a tackle during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2, 2023. He collapsed on the field and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Hamlin was diagnosed with commotio cordis, a rare event caused by a blow to the chest that can cause cardiac arrest. After spending several days in the hospital, he was released and underwent a comprehensive medical evaluation, including cardiac, neurological, and vascular testing. Hamlin has since been cleared by three specialists to return to football and has been participating in voluntary workouts with the Bills. However, he was expected to be inactive for the Bills season opener against the Jets on September 11, 2023.
