As Bills safety Damar Hamlin remains in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, his uncle Dorrian Glenn provided an update on the health of his nephew as well as more details about what happened following Hamlin’s collapse during Monday’s Bills-Bengals game.
Glenn told CNN on Tuesday evening that Hamlin had to be resuscitated twice when his heart stopped beating.
“They resuscitated him on the field before they brought him to the hospital, and then resuscitated him a second time when they got him to the hospital,” Glenn said.
The update from Glenn aligns with what the Bills released in a tweet earlier this morning that Hamlin’s heartbeat was restored by medical personnel on the field before he was placed into an ambulance and taken to the hospital.
