Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin returned to NFL Saturday for the first time since his mid-game cardiac arrest earlier this year.

Hamlin had three tackles in the game against the Indianapolis Colts, which lead to his team to a 23-19 win. It was his first game since taking a medical break from the sport last season.

Having spent the past several months meeting President Joe Biden, raising millions of dollars for his charitable foundation and promoting the benefits of CPR training, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin can focus now on the next big objective in his life: returning to football.

Wearing a red woolen cap and a Bills blue pullover, Hamlin sat at the podium on Tuesday and said his heart — the one that stopped beating some four months ago during a game in Cincinnati — was, as he put it, “still in the game.”

In his first comments on camera since going into cardiac arrest on Monday Night Football on Jan. 2, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin said he would not have made it through the "toughest moments and the toughest times" without the support from all over the world.

Right after making a tackle on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, Hamlin stood up, but immediately collapsed. Medical staff performed CPR on him for over nine minutes, and he left the field on an ambulance after having to be defibrillated.

Damar Hamlin is finally on his way home. The Bills star has been released after more than a week in the hospital after he suffered a cardiac arrest during a football game earlier this month. He made his way back to Buffalo, New York, earlier this week when he was transferred from a Cincinnati hospital as he continued to recover from the life-threatening incident.

There are some people who are just so desperate to see racism in everything they will simply make it up where it does not exist. Such is the case of an “article” published by Scientific American last week claiming that “football’s violence disproportionately affects Black men.” In a sport that is both violent and played predominantly by black men, the logical response to this preposterous claim is, “Ya think?”

Damar Hamlin is breathing on his own 50 percent of the time, his uncle said, calling it a “good sign” in his recovery.

Dorrian Glenn told CNN Tuesday night that his nephew’s use of a ventilator was down from 100 percent Monday. He also told the outlet the Bills safety had to be resuscitated twice — once on the field and once at the hospital — Monday night but his family refuted it Wednesday.

Soon after Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field following a cardiac arrest, right-wing figures on Twitter and other social media platforms were baselessly blaming his injury on COVID-19 vaccines.

Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and suffered a cardiac arrest moments after taking a hit to his chest during a tackle. While it’s not yet known why his heart stopped, some experts say his condition is most likely due to a heart rhythm problem as a result of that impact. Still, people on social media have baselessly speculated that it was caused by a COVID-19 vaccine.

How do we know vaccines are safe?
