Bills' Damar Hamlin OK to play after suffering cardiac arrest

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been fully cleared to return to playing football, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane said Tuesday.

Hamlin saw his last specialist Friday and is in attendance and participating at voluntary workouts with the Bills this week.

"He is fully cleared. He's here. ... and he's in a great headspace to make his return," Beane said.

Beane said that Hamlin visited with three different specialists after suffering cardiac arrest during the Bills' Jan. 2 regular-season game against the Cincinnati Bengals. All three specialists were in agreement that Hamlin could fully return to playing football.
