\nDamar Hamlin collapses during NFL game over cardiac arrest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is in critical condition after having a cardiac arrest and collapsing on the field during the first quarter of Monday night\u2019s game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals, the player\u2019s team said.<\/p>\n
Hamlin fell on his back just after getting up from a tackle on Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis heartbeat was fixed on the field, and he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for more tests and treatment.\u201d \u201cHe is currently sedated and listed as being in critical condition,\u201d the Bills said in a tweet early Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Within ten seconds of the player falling, the Bills team trainers were taking care of him. Footage shows that an ambulance was on the field in less than five minutes, and he was given CPR, according to an ESPN broadcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cHamlin was given immediate medical care on the field by team and independent medical staff as well as local paramedics. \u201cHe was then taken to a local hospital where he is in critical condition,\u201d the NFL said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The game was put on hold at 5:58 of the first quarter, and it was later officially moved to a later date.<\/p>\n

The NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to put off the game, the NFL statement said. Troy Vincent, who played in the NFL for over a decade and is now the league\u2019s executive vice president of operations, said in the press call that neither of the teams\u2019 coaches nor players asked to keep playing.<\/p>\nDamar Hamlin collapses during NFL game over cardiac arrest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like it since I started playing,\u201d Vincent said. \u201cI immediately put on my player hat. How do you go back to playing after seeing something so traumatic happen right in front of you in real time?\u201d<\/p>\n
After seeing a teammate have a medical emergency in the middle of the game, the players on the field were clearly upset. Some could be seen crying, praying, kneeling, and hugging each other before they went back to the locker room.<\/p>\n

Vincent said that some of Hamlin\u2019s teammates have decided to stay in Cincinnati while the rest of the team heads back to Buffalo on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
On paper, Hamlin has played in every game this season. The 24-year-old Pennsylvanian joined the Bills as a sixth-round draft pick in 2021, after playing for the University of Pittsburgh from 2016 to 2020.<\/p>\nDamar Hamlin collapses during NFL game over cardiac arrest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
According to his Pittsburgh Panthers player bio, he was redshirted in 2016. This means that he sat out games but stayed on the team because of an injury. The NFL site also said that he had injuries in 2017 and 2019.<\/p>\n
