ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — Damar Hamlin continues to make positive strides, and Saturday, the safety played in the first live game since going into cardiac arrest.
“It’s a blessing,” said Hamlin. “I keep talking about the challenge. But, how many people get to say they overcome something, a hurdle this big in their life and still be here to tell the story of it?”
Saturday's game only marks Bills preseason phase of the season, but the crowd treated Hamlin's tackles with as much cheer and enthusiasm as one could imagine.
“Makes me feel like I’m back in that element, back in that mode. Just being back apart of my team. I honestly couldn’t imagine not being apart of this.”
Hamlin's first series came early in the 1st quarter alongside Taylor Rapp as they replaced Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. Hamlin's first tackle stuffed the Colts on 4th and one giving the Bills the ball.
Hamlin made a total of three tackles against the Colts.
