On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported that Damar Hamlin was discharged from a Buffalo hospital. The Buffalo Bills shared the news on their Twitter account just nine days after Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during an NFL game.
Hamlin, who is a 24-year-old Bills safety, collapsed after making a tackle during the Jan. 2 “Monday Night Football” game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was first listed in critical condition but has since made a surprising recovery.
