There have been several encouraging updates about Hamlin since he suffered a cardiac arrest during the first quarter of Buffalo’s “Monday Night Football” game against the Cincinnati Bengals. While he remained in intensive care as of Thursday morning, it sounds like doctors have been pleased with the progress Hamlin has shown.
Hamlin’s family has made it a point to keep the public informed about the 24-year-old’s condition. They also had a message for those criticizing Tee Higgins, the Bengals player with whom Hamlin collided.
