The 24-year-old Hamlin collapsed on the field after a collision with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter of Monday's game. Hamlin got back to his feet and momentarily stood in place before falling to the field. Team physicians and medical personnel performed CPR on the field for nearly 10 minutes before Hamlin was transported by ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Hamlin has since been listed in critical condition but shown continued improvement. Hamlin's breathing tube was removed Friday and he addressed his teammates and coaches on FaceTime, saying “Love you boys.”"He continues to breathe on his own and his neurological function is excellent," the Bills tweeted.
