Damar Hamlin made his return to the field in a regular-season game for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest on the field in January.
The Buffalo Bills safety recorded his first tackle of the season late in the fourth quarter of Buffalo’s 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Hamlin was activated for the second time this season and took over for safety Cam Lewis, who left the game with an injury, during a crucial moment in the game.
In a tense situation, Hamlin made his first tackle since his medical emergency nearly a year ago, marking a significant step in his recovery.
His return and tackle was a poignant moment, considering that his playing future was uncertain after the traumatic events of last season.
After undergoing treatment and rehabilitation, Hamlin was cleared to return to football. His return to defensive action marks an incredible milestone in his journey back to the sport.
