Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, the Bills confirmed, coming about a week after he collapsed due to cardiac arrest during a nationally televised game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
“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,” Dr. Jamie Nadler, said in a statement that the Bills released Wednesday on Twitter.
And in a news release issued by the team, doctors at the Buffalo General Medical Center carried out a “comprehensive medical evaluation” of his condition. They have not confirmed what caused Hamlin’s cardiac arrest, which is often fatal and can lead to severe neurological impairment, and did not say what tests were performed.
“Special thank-you to Buffalo General it’s been nothing but love since arrival! Keep me in y’all prayers please!” Hamlin wrote on Tuesday via Twitter.
Before being sent to Buffalo, Hamlin was treated for about a week at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after collapsing during a “Monday Night Football” game that was being broadcast by ESPN. UC Medical Center doctors, too, did not determine what caused his condition.
“He’s certainly on what we consider a very normal to even accelerated trajectory from the life-threatening event that he underwent,” Dr.
