Breaking: Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is showing “signs of improvement,” the team said, but remains in critical condition after collapsing and suffering a cardiac arrest during Monday’s NFL game
but showed “signs of improvement” on Tuesday and overnight, the team said.
League officials on Wednesday declined to pin down a specific cause of the incident, but Dr. Allen Sills, the league’s chief medical officer, said a condition called commotio cordis “certainly is possible.” “It’s certainly not an exaggeration to say that the skilled and the immediate response by all of these talented caregivers prevented a very tragic outcome at that moment,” Sills said. “We never want to see events like this occur. But if there were to be a medical emergency, there was absolutely the right team with the right equipment and the right training on site able to provide care.”
Both teams eventually headed to their respective locker rooms. Just over an hour after the incident, the game was suspended. The NFL said Tuesday that the game will not be resumed “this week” and it is unclear if or when that will happen.
