Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been released from a hospital in Cincinnati for a week after suffering a heart attack on the field against the Bengals.
“Going home to Buffalo today with love in my heart,” Hamlin tweeted. “Watching the world come together around me is really a wonderful feeling. The same love that everyone has shown me is the same love that I plan to put back into the world n others. Bigger than football!
“Thank you for the amazing care I received at UCMC. Nice to be back in Buffalo. The doctors and nurses at Buffalo General have made me feel right at home!”
The 24-year-old collapsed in the first quarter of the Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game on January 2 after a tackle on wide receiver Tee Higgins and required CPR along with other treatment for 10 minutes before being transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was intubated and declared in critical condition.
Hamlin reportedly showed significant improvement when Thursday he opened his eyes and was able to hold the hands of his loved ones.
He has since been seen communicating with friends via FaceTime and tweeted regularly from his hospital bed during Buffalo’s win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.
A week out from the night that brought the NFL to a standstill, Hamlin has cleared to head back to Buffalo.
Dr. William Knight of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center said: “I can confirm that he is doing well and this is the beginning of the next phase of his recovery.”
