Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field shortly after wide receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin reportedly got up quickly after the tackle before collapsing on the field. After collapsing, several athletic rushed onto the field to help him. A stretcher was rushed to the field as the trainers worked to protect his head.
As Damar Hamlin received care on the field, he was surrounded by the entire Bills’ sidelines. Multiple members of the team crumbled emotionally as they leaned on each other for comfort. Many members of his team had to turn as they couldn’t handle seeing their teammates in this condition.
The first attempt to move Damar Hamlin from the field was unsuccessful. He, however, was placed in an ambulance.
While there hasn’t been an official word, the equipment staff has been spotted cleaning up the equipment. So, most assume the game will be canceled.
Damar Hamlin’s mother was at the game watching her son play. She did travel to the hospital with him.
