Damar Hamlin cardiac arrest: Two years ago, Bills S collapsed on the field after taking a brutal hit from Bengals WR Tee Higgins

Damar Hamlin re-signed with the Bills in March 2025 but was placed on injured reserve in October after a practice injury. His 21-day practice window opened in January 2026. This follows his collapse on the field two years prior after a hit from Tee Higgins, which doctors believe was Commotio Cordis.
