Damar Hamlin's coach, Sean McDermott, is joining the rest of the Buffalo Bills team in sending his best wishes for the athlete's recovery.
When asked about how his own mental health was holding up in the wake of Hamlin's health scare, McDermott deflected.
“Again, this isn’t about me. I’m human, just like anybody else. There’s been moments as we just had that it overwhelms you,” he replied. “It’s come up more than a couple of times for me at different points in time, but like anybody else, I need to be able to have enough self-awareness to know when I need a break and when I need to seek out a counselor as well. So I think that’s important to know that’s not a sign of weakness, that’s a sign of strength.
Doctors from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center also spoke about Hamlin's medical condition, noting that"When he asked, 'Did we win?' the answer is, 'Yes, Damar, you won. You've won the game of life,'" said Dr. Timothy Pritts, the Division Chief of General Surgery at UC Health."That's probably the most important thing out of this, and we really need to keep him at the center of what's going on.
Pritts, along with Dr. William Knight IV, said they've seen"substantial improvement" in Hamlin over the last 24 hours. The doctors added that his neurological appears"intact," though Hamlin remains"critically ill" and in"critical condition."
