"Damar Hamlin discharged from Buffalo hospital 9 days after suffering cardiac arrest during a game"



More good news.

So basically it's all good. Events in chronological order:

  • Buffalo Bills travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals in a (critical) Monday Night Football game.
  • During the game, Bills safety Damar Hamlin sustains a blow to the chest during a routine tackle, leading to cardiac arrest on the field. He is administered CPR before getting loaded into an ambulance and to a Cincinnati hospital.
  • After an hour or so, the game is cancelled by the NFL (who later decides not to make up the game).
  • Some Buffalo players fly home... but others stay in Cincinnati as Damar remains in critical condition.
  • Eventually, Damar regains consciousness and the breathing tube is removed. The remaining Buffalo players fly home.
  • Damar watches from the Cincinnati hospital as the Buffalo Bills take on the New England Patriots at home in Buffalo.
  • In the days after the game, Damar is transferred from the Cincinnati hospital to a Buffalo hospital. His improvement continues.
  • Now he has finally been discharged from the Buffalo hospital to go back home.



If I were to guess... I'd venture to say there's a fair chance Damar could be in attendance for the Bills' first playoff game this weekend, against the Miami Dolphins. Damar's attendance would be an incredible boost to an already super-motivated Buffalo Bills team and fanbase. Good news all around.
