So that you’re saying there’s a probability!
Damar Hamlin has been vocal that he desires to play within the NFL again after suffering cardiac arrest following a routine tackle of Bengals wideout Tee Higgins during Week 18 of the regular season.
That goal actually appears to be plausible now.
As covered by ESPN’s Bills reporter Alaina Getzenberg, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beame told reporters on Thursday that Hamlin still has a desire to play.
Beame said that the defensive back has not less than yet another doctor’s appointment, but that things are “trending in the suitable direction.”
“We’ll get him through all [medical consultations] after which we’ll ensure all of our medical persons are hearing all those opinions on each visit and ensure that we’re all on the identical page of what it will seem like,” Beane said, noting that he believed consultations would end next month but that there could at all times be more.
After Hamlin went into cardiac arrest, he was transported to the hospital by ambulance and it was several days of widespread concern before he woke up.
Upon coming to, the very first thing he asked doctors was if the Bills had won the sport, which got called off after his collapse.
In February, Hamlin made his desire to return to the football field clear.
“Eventually. That’s at all times the goal, like I said, as a competitor, you already know, I’m attempting to do things to maintain advancing my situation,” he said. “But I’m allowing that to be in God’s hands. I’m just thankful he gave me a second probability.”
Doctors told him that he ought to be more concerned with a return to normal life than the gridiron.
“It’s a tricky situation,” Hamlin said. “They will’t really tell, since it’s like — it’s an up-to-me thing I assume or, you already know, it’s just — it’s an extended road. They’re just nervous about attempting to get me back to normal as much as they’ll.”
On the time, Hamlin was unable to recall the specifics of his collapse.
“That’s something I don’t actually need to get too deep in the main points of,” Hamlin said. “That’s something I’m still attempting to work through, you already know, why that happened to me.”
