Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin took a hit in the chest after he tackled wide receiver Tee Higgins during the Buffalo Bills’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2, 2023.

Team trainers and paramedics rushed to his side as he remained motionless. Hamlin was then loaded onto a stretcher, and an ambulance arrived on the scene.

Hamlin was given oxygen, intubated, and an intravenous solution was given to him (IV). At approximately 9:25 p.m. EST, he was transported to the University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center and was reported to be in critical condition.

The game was suspended with 5:58 remaining in the first quarter and was rescheduled shortly after 10 p.m., about one hour after Hamlin collapsed, by the NFL’s emergency-situation rules.

Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, and Penn State University head coach James Franklin all expressed their condolences to Hamlin’s family.

The Buffalo Bills selected Hamlin in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Pittsburgh. In 2022, Hamlin has 92 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
