Just one week after his terrifying collapse, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was discharged from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Monday and has returned home.

Hamlin was in the hospital since he first experienced cardiac arrest on the field during the Bills’ Week 17 game against the Bengals on Jan. 2.

“He is doing well and this is the beginning of the next stage of his recovery,” Dr. William Knight said, via the NFL Network’s Mike Garoffolo.

Hamlin’s case has been transferred to a hospital in Buffalo, where he will continue to recover — something that will be measured in “weeks to months.”

Hamlin went down in the first quarter of the Bills’ game against the Bengals after a collision with Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin stood up after that play, but then suddenly stumbled back and collapsed. He remained on the field for a long time while athletic trainers and medical staff performed CPR. He was eventually transported to the hospital, and the game was canceled.

By Wednesday, Hamlin started showing “signs of improvement.” He started waking up on Thursday, and doctors removed his breathing that night, which was another massive step in his “remarkable” recovery.

The league honored Hamlin to close out the regular season this past weekend. Players and coaches all wore special warm up shirts with Hamlin’s number on them, and the “3” on the 30-yard-line of each field was outlined in Bills colors for Week 18. A GoFundMe that Hamlin launched in 2020 through his foundation, which only had an initial goal of $2,500, quickly surpassed $8 million in donations, too.

While he certainly has a long way to go in his recovery, Hamlin can at least do so from the comfort of his own home.
