“Our thoughts are with Damar and the Buffalo Bills. We will provide more information as it becomes available. The NFL has been in constant communication with the NFL Players Association which is in agreement with postponing the game.” 

Hamlin took a hard hit near the head from Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins early in the first quarter of the game before collapsing to the ground. He reportedly has a pulse, but is not breathing on his own, according to FOX News. The young athlete was flooded with words of love and support from his NFL fans and correspondents. ESPN commentator, Ryan Clark, spoke about Hamlin’s injury during Monday night’s game. 

“This is about Damar Hamlin. It was about a young man at 24-year-old living his dream and now he fights for his life.” NFL analyst Jordan Shultz shared a touching video Hamlin while offering his thoughts and prayers. 

“Damar Hamlin is a truly wonderful and special person,” Shultz tweeted. “He’s made an enormous impact on his community, long before he made the NFL. Please pray for Damar and his family.”
