Damar Hamlin went through an extremely traumatic experience last season. During a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Hamlin took a shot to the chest. This happened at a very specific time in his heart's rhythm and caused him to stop breathing. Overall, it was a very bad injury that could have resulted in his death. However, there was someone on staff who was able to save his life with CPR. Subsequently, he went to the hospital and made a recovery that a lot of people weren't sure he would make.
Since that time, Damar Hamlin has been trying to get cleared to play. After all, when you go through an injury like that, there is no guarantee you will ever play again. Luckily, Hamlin was able to get confirmation from a doctor. Since that time, he has been getting into shape and has also been present at Bills OTAs. However, he had yet to actually put on all of his gear during a practice session. Well, that all changed today as Hamlin was out on the field with a helmet and all of his pads.
