KJ Hamler gets real about his mental state while dealing with injury and loss

Back in March, K.J. Hamler talked about his struggles working back from a season-ending injury early in the 2021 campaign.

And he noted then that the best medicine for overcoming the depression he suffered from being injured and isolated from his team would be getting on the field and playing.

“Now that I’m around all the guys and I’m able to do a little bit of what I was able to do before—it’s been uplifting my spirits,” he said earlier this spring.

Five months later Hamler has been activated from the PUP list and is a go for training camp - something the third-year wideout desperately needed to dig himself out of the depression hole he was in.
