NFL EVP Denies Reported Deadline to Resume Play After Hamlin’s Injury

Monday night’s game between the Bengals and Bills abruptly stopped midway through the first quarter as a scary scene unfolded when Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after making a tackle. After a lengthy delay with scarce updates, the NFL opted to postpone the game, with no makeup date announced.

The stoppage occurred when Hamlin collapsed after making a tackle. He initially got up off the ground and to his feet following the play, but collapsed almost immediately at 8:55 p.m. ET. Hamlin was administered CPR on the field and then taken away in an ambulance, which left the stadium at 9:25 p.
