“His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition.”
“We are grateful and thankful for the outpouring of support we have received thus far,” the Bills said in a statement on the condition of Damar Hamlin.
Hamlin out, what now NFL?
The game, stopped during the first quarter and will not resume the games yet, the NFL announced. The league said it has yet to decide whether it could be finished at a later date.
“We will promptly advise all clubs of any decisions that are made regarding these matters,” Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a memo sent to all NFL teams.
Rooney told Good Morning America “I can’t speak specifically on his medical condition. I will say that he’s fighting. He’s a fighter. I felt like in the moment that there needed to be some clarity that he was awake at that time. Now he’s sedated. The family is in good spirits. We’re honestly just taking it minute by minute, hour by hour.”
In a statement posted on Twitter, Hamlin’s family said“On behalf of our family, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to Damar during this challenging time. We are deeply moved by the prayers, kind words, and donations from fans around the country. … Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us. Please keep Damar in your prayers. We will release updates as soon as we have them.”
