A little more than a week after going into cardiac arrest during the Buffalo Bills' Week 17 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals on "Monday Night Football", safety Damar Hamlin is finally making his way home.
In a statement released by the Bills on Wednesday, the team says Hamlin has been discharged from Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute. He had arrived at the hospital on Monday after traveling back to Buffalo from Cincinnati, where he had been tended to for nearly a full week by doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
"We have completed a series of tests and evaluations, 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," said Jamie Nadler, MD, critical care physician and Chief Quality Officer at Kaleida Health, and the care team lead for Hamlin.
Doctors on Monday in Cincinnati were pleased with Hamlin's continued progress in his recovery from suffering cardiac arrest. It was to the point where they allowed Hamlin to fly back to Buffalo and continue his rehabilitation and undergo further testing at Buffalo General.
The Bills will open up their playoff push this Sunday afternoon in Orchard Park when the team takes on the Miami Dolphins at Highmark Stadium.
