The Buffalo Bills announced Friday that Damar Hamlin's breathing tube has been removed. 'He has been able to talk to his family and care team,' the Bills said in a statement.
During a Wednesday night Zoom call from Hamlin’s father, Mario, to the entire team, he implored them to get back to work and, essentially, do Damar proud.
“Damar’s father spoke to the team and really his message was the team needs to get back to focusing on the goals that they had set for themselves,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Thursday. “Damar would have wanted it that way, and I’m paraphrasing. So that includes our game against New England this week. And I think that has helped. And then getting the news today was big, a huge help to getting us back to focusing on the game this weekend.
“This was unlike anything that anyone of my generation [of NFL players] or generations after me may have experienced or witnessed,” Aikman“That’s just not something you anticipate. You anticipate broken bones and blown-out knees and things of that nature, but you don’t anticipate, you know, life-changing events or life threatening events even.
