The N.F.L. safety Damar Hamlin “has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours,” the Buffalo Bills said Thursday morning, after he went into cardiac arrest during a game earlier this week.
“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,” the Bills said, attributing the update to doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
On Monday night, Bills players watched in horror as Hamlin, 24, laid on the field and medical staff attempted to restart his heart after he had collapsed and fell backward following a routine tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals.
