Damar Hamlin’s condition critical after collapsing on-field and undergoing CPR during NFL match

Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during a game on Monday night and is currently in critical condition in hospital. The incident occurred after Hamlin tackled Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins, causing him to collapse on the field. CPR was administered on the field, and Hamlin’s heartbeat was restored before he was taken to a local hospital. Emotional scenes unfolded as both teams prayed together for Hamlin’s recovery. The game was postponed until further notice, and several NFL players and officials expressed their concern and prayers for Hamlin’s well-being. Critics slammed the NFL for the time it took to suspend the game following the incident. Hamlin, a former Pittsburgh college player, was drafted by the Bills in 2021 and started for the team this year. A community toy drive Hamlin organized raised more than $1.2 million in donations, surpassing its initial goal of $2,500. At this time, the league has not made any plans to reschedule the game, focusing instead on Hamlin’s recovery.
