Damar Hamlin continues to progress but remains in critical condition

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Bills safety Damar Hamlin continues to make progress in his recovery as he remains breathing on his own and his "neurological function is excellent," according to physicians at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center via a statement from the team Saturday.

Hamlin remains in critical condition, the statement said, but is progressing after having his breathing tube removed overnight Thursday to Friday.

The 24-year-old still has a long road to recovery, with doctors from the UC Medical Center saying Thursday that there were many steps ahead for Hamlin, although he accomplished the first by having the breathing tube taken out.
