Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin has been able to awaken and communicate with his medical team after the safety suffered cardiac arrest on the field during a Monday night NFL game in Cincinnati, his doctors told reporters on Thursday.
Two physicians caring for the 24-year-old said he was "demonstrating signs of good neurological recovery" and was able to communicate in writing.
The physicians said Hamlin had in writing asked who won the game. The response: "Damar, you won - you won the game of life," Dr. Timothy Pritts said. The positive update was welcome news for the Bills, as they prepare for their final regular season contest on Sunday. "As teammates you love hearing that response," Allen continued. "The first thing on his mind wasn't poor me it was how are my teammates doing, did we win this game and that's powerful in itself.
Knight said Hamlin was still critically ill and remained in the ICU, adding that the focus was on getting him off the ventilator "and on the road to recovery." The Bills were back on the practice field on Thursday preparing for their crucial regular season finale, when they host the New England Patriots.
