BuffaloBills’ Damar Hamlin has spoken out for the first time since his hospitalization.
Hamlin tackled Higgins, a Bengals wide receiver, during the game before he collapsed. The former Clemson player was drafted by Cincinnati in 2020.
In his conference call, Vincent added: ”Emotions you can imagine in both locker rooms, and I commend both of those coaches. Tough situation to go back in and look at 53 men in the locker room and not that they asked but just to try and calm people down. It was obvious on the phone with them that the emotions were extremely high. It was a very volatile situation, and I thought the coaches, they led tonight. They led their locker rooms.
The statement continued:"We also want to acknowledge the dedicated first responders and healthcare professionals at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center who have provided exceptional care to Damar. We feel so blessed to be a part of the Buffalo Bills organization and to have their support. We also want to thank Coach Taylor and the Bengals for everything they’ve done."
Hamlin's agent, Ron Butler, subsequently told the outlet that the athlete’s oxygen levels have improved since January 2.Hamlin's doctors revealed during a press conference on January 5 that the athlete began to make"substantial progress." While Hamlin is still unable to speak, the medical experts said that he is awake and has written notes.
The wide receiver noted that he's been in touch with Hamlin's mother."[She] texted me this morning, and told me about everything and it made me feel even more at home," he said, adding that he also visited the hospital where Hamlin is recovering."I really appreciate them, just hearing from them and them having my back as well, so yeah. Feels good.
