NFL’s Damar Hamlin Released From Buffalo Hospital After Jarring Injury

Just nine days after going into cardiac arrest during an N.F.L. game, Damar Hamlin was released from a Buffalo hospital on Wednesday.

“We have completed a series of tests and evaluations,” said Jamie Nadler, the physician who led Hamlin’s care at Buffalo General Medical Center. “And in consultation with the team physicians, we are confident that Damar can be safely discharged to continue his rehabilitation at home and with the Bills.”

Hamlin, a 24-year-old defensive back for the Buffalo Bills, continues to make steady progress after collapsing on the field following a tackle on Jan. 2. He spent nearly a week in the intensive care unit at a Cincinnati hospital, where he began breathing on his own and walking and talking again late last week. On Monday, he was transported to the facility in Buffalo after his condition had improved and he no longer needed intensive care.
