The Bills and the NFL got the Damar Hamlin update they were waiting for.
The team said in a statement Thursday morning that the Bills safety is “neurologically intact” and has “shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours.”
Hamlin collapsed in the first quarter of the Bills’ game against the Bengals on Monday and was administered CPR on the field after he stopped breathing. Hamlin was rushed to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he remains in the ICU.

“Our boy is doing better, awake and showing more signs of improvement. Thank you God. Keep the prayers coming please. All love 3!” Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam tweeted.
According to NFL Network, Hamlin is “responsive” and has gripped the hands of those close to him.
