A horrifying sight during Monday Night Football…
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin remains in critical condition after collapsing on the field during Monday night’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals; Hamlin, 24, suffered cardiac arrest according to a statement from the Bills late Monday.
“His vitals are back to normal and they have put him to sleep to put a breathing tube down his throat,” Jordon Rooney, Hamlin’s marketing representative at Jaster Athletes, wrote on Twitter in an update about an hour after the league’s statement. “They are currently running tests. We will provide updates as we have them.”
From The New York Post:
A hospital spokesperson canceled a news conference, originally scheduled for around 11 p.m. Monday, according to multiple reports. Hamlin’s agent, Ira Turner of Agency 1 Sports, released a statement asking to “please continue to pray for Damar and his family.”
Hamlin and his mother, who was watching from the stands, were taken two miles away to the University of Cincinnati Level I trauma center in what was treated as a life-or-death emergency. The ambulance left Paycor Stadium about 30 minutes after the emergency began when Hamlin made a first-quarter tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins but appeared to take the brunt of the hit.
Hamlin hopped to his feet and adjusted his facemask but almost immediately fell onto his back.
The game was suspended due to the tragic event.
Bills and Bengals fans have gathered outside Hamlin’s hospital in a show of support.
