After suffering from a cardiac arrest during the Bills' Monday Night Football game against the Bengals in week 17, Hamlin was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was sedated and placed on a breathing tube.

The Bills safety was awake and able to speak with his teammates via FaceTime on January 6, roughly four days after going into cardiac arrest mid-game, and one day after having his breathing tube removed.

On Tuesday, Hamlin gave Buffalo General a shout-out by tweeting a "special thank you" to the hospital, adding that "it's been nothing but love since arrival! Keep me in y’all prayers please!"
