Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been released from an Ohio hospital a week after he collapsed on the field during a nationally televised game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Dr. William Knight IV, a professor of emergency medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and director of the Emergency Medicine MLP Program said:
“Mr. Hamlin has been released and returned to Buffalo. I traveled with him to the airport this morning with our UC Health air care and mobile care crew, including teammates who were with us on the field when Mr. Hamlin collapsed.
“I can confirm he is doing well and this is the beginning of the next stage of his recovery.”
Before yesterday’s NFL games, Hamlin took to social media to say: “GameDay.
“Nothing I Want More Than To Be Running Out That Tunnel With My Brothers.
“God Using Me In A Different Way Today.
“Tell Someone You Love Them Today! Let’s go @BuffaloBills.”
UC Health Center physicians announce that #Bills S Damar Hamlin has been released from the hospital and is back in Buffalo. WOW.

Hamlin said last night in a series of posts, his first since collapsing on the field Monday:
“The love is felt, & extremely real.
“No matter race or religion everybody coming together in prayer!
“Putting love into the world comes back 3xs as much.
“Thankful for everyone who has reached out and prayed.
“This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me.”
