Following Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin collapsing on the field during Monday’s game, the 24-year-old is currently “awake and responsive” and able to communicate according to a new update from his team.

Dr. William Knight IV, MD, who is working with Hamlin at the Ohio hospital, said about Hamlin’s consistent support system, “His parents have been with him constantly. There's a lot of family members, a lot of support from his family and friends, as well as members of the Buffalo Bills administrative and medical teams that have been really at his bedside throughout which is admirable in terms of the support of that the Bills that have shown here. And so yes, he's held many people's hands.”
