Nine days after suffering cardiac arrest during a game in Cincinnati, Bills safety Damar Hamlin has gone home.

The Bills have announced that Hamlin has been discharged from Buffalo General Medical Center.

Hamlin arrived on Monday, after being released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. On Tuesday, he underwent a “comprehensive medical evaluation as well as a series of cardiac, neurological and vascular testing.”

“We are confident that Damar can be safely discharged to continue his rehabilitation at home and with the Bills,” Dr. Jamie Nadler said in a statement from the team.

The next question is whether he’ll be at Sunday’s playoff game against the Dolphins and, if so, whether the Bills win the game by 30 or 60 points.

  1. Hope you are at the game Sunday! Highmark will be more electric than ever! Love you Dham3!

  2. Wonderful. Hats off to the Buffalo on field medical team. The real heroes of this. Without them stories such a as this would have never been written. Amen.

  3. Please credit the medical personnel who saved his life and rehabilitated him rather than praising your imaginary friend. That is all. I’ll see myself out.

  4. Would be great!!
    Or they could save that energy for the next week, against the Bengals!

  5. 1. Great news.

    2. I hope he is 100% recovered in short order and has a happy life

    3. I hope he can resume his football career

  6. I can see it now:

    Just before kickoff, Hamlin shows up at the stadium. He’s on the Jumbotron waving, the crowd goes insane.

    The Dolphins walk off the field, head for the locker room, change into street clothes, and go home.

    Florio himself couldn’t write a better script.

  7. Great news! He definitely will badly want to be there even if he can’t safely go.

    Bills by a million.

  8. I dount we will ever know the details, but One has to wonder if he had a prior undiagnosed heart condition.

  9. “The next question is whether he’ll be at Sunday’s playoff game against the Dolphins and, if so, whether the Bills win the game by 30 or 60 points.”

    I’m betting the over for sure!

  10. Tuck him away in a box with a medical staff!
    Enjoy the game Damar!!!
    GO BILLS!!!

  11. 30 or 60 points? Bills fan just got the kiss of death jinx. Dolphins win by 2. Wide right rears its ugly head again.

  12. Great News about Damar! .. Now, the NFL will have to address players Salary demands going forward. 100% Fully guaranteed contracts from now on.

  13. So many points of interest from this situation but what has stuck out to me the most is what high quality parents can mean to a young man (woman). As we’ve all learned about the quality of Damar’s character it ALL points back to his mom and dad, the rest of his family, at least to me. I am very curious to find out, hopefully in due time, how this happened…was there some sort of hard to diagnose precondition or was this just a freak (the freak of freak) accident. Regardless, the underlying moral of this story, to me, is what a great family for a young person means to the quality of the eventual adult.

  14. Obviously great news. But can we admit this has been blown out of proportion? Over 30 people died from the snow storm that happened just before this. In Buffalo. Not some other city. Yet as Peter Kings FMiA article pointed out, the local news spent 1.5 minutes on weather, 1 minutes on updated death toll from blizzard, and the entire rest of the news on Hamlin. He’s playing a dangerous sport where injuries are unfortunately a part of the game. A 20 year old driving home from her job at a nursing home and dying in her car is not a part of her job description. A woman driving to the store to get Christmas dinner and dying in her car is not normal.
    Can’t help but think people should be donating to these families as well as the Hamlin toy drive. Maybe they are, but I’m not seeing near the concern or coverage nationally.

    Go tell that to Damar and his Pastor. I’ll bet you won’t.

    Believe what you want. No issue with that. But we all know who the heroes are and they are rarely mentioned. Damar should also credit himself for pulling through. He’s is the one who fought through this, and no one or thing should receive credit for that. Damar’s pastor is just happy he’ll show up next week with that big fat paycheck.
