Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is expected to make his 2023 season debut against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday nearly nine months after suffering cardiac arrest.

Damar Hamlin poses for a photo during NFL Honors at the Symphony Hall on February 9, 2023, in Phoenix, Arizona."The diagnosis of what happened to me was basically commotio cordis. It’s a direct blow at a specific point in your heartbeat that causes cardiac arrest," Hamlin told reporters after he had been cleared for football activities.
"And five to seven seconds later, you fall out. . . . Commotio cordis is the leading cause of death in youth athletes across all sports. So, that's something that I personally will be taking a step in to make a change. Also, with that being said, all of the awareness around CPR and access to AEDs have been lowering that number as well."
