The Bills are honoring safety Damar Hamlin at Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots by wearing a special patch with the number 3 on their jerseys.
It’s something all 32 NFL teams are doing to honor Hamlin after he was injured during Monday Night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Each team will also wear black t-shirts with ‘Love for Damar’ written on them during on-field warmups.and although there is no timetable for his release, Hamlin’s doctors said Thursday that both breathing on his own and showing continued signs of improvement are the final steps for him to be discharged from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
He spent his first two days in the hospital under sedation. Upon being awakened on Wednesday evening, Hamlin was able to follow commands and grip people’s hands. The breathing tube was removed, the team said Friday, and Hamlin's “neurologic function remains intact.” The Bills placed Hamlin on the season-ending injured reserve list and activated rookie cornerback Christian Benford from IR. Benford has been sidelined since sustaining an oblique injury on Thanksgiving Day.
