But the Bills’ safety then pivoted towards his gratefulness for the second lease of life he has got. So according to Hamlin, he is putting his return in the hands of God.

“But I’m allowing that to be in God’s hands. I’m just thankful he gave me a second chance,” Hamlin added.

So, the safety did not put a deadline on his return to the field. But the mere suggestion that he is thinking about it is enough for the fans to rejoice. Prayers have come in for the young player ever since that fateful day in Cincinnati. And the NFL world still looks back at his injury with a sense of horror.

The horror in Cincinnati 

January 2 was a normal day in Cincinnati. The fans looked forward to a cracker of a game between the Bengals and the Bills. And the game started as it normally would in any NFL week. But the joy of football quickly turned into horror in the first quarter itself.

Damar Hamlin went down after a tackle with the Bengals WR Tee Higgins. Medics quickly realized the gravity of the situation and rushed onto the field. They took him to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he recovered from cardiac arrest. The fans and players spent the next few days in anxiety after the league called the game off.

While Hamlin is in a much better state, attending games and going about his life, nobody would want him to rush back on the field. Hope is that he makes a full recovery and lights up the league with his usual self.
