Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and has returned to western New York, according to physicians.

‘I can confirm he is doing well and this is the beginning of the next stage of his recovery,’ said UC’s Dr. William Knight.

This comes a day after Hamlin cheered on from his hospital bed as the Buffalo Bills defeated the New England Patriots in Orchard Park in front of a raucous home crowd that held up signs wishing him a speedy recovery.
Hamlin tweeted his thoughts on the game, including when his fellow defensive backs snagged interceptions and when Nyheim Hines returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown.

Hamlin collapsed early on in last Monday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals after tackling Bengals receiver Tee Higgins.
He was attended to by members of the Bills training staff, including Denny Kellington – who was identified as the man who gave Hamlin necessary CPR.
Hamlin was then taken to the UC Medical Center where he was resuscitated and intubated.
Within a matter of days, Hamlin had woken up, was communicating with doctors, and had his breathing tube removed.
He later spoke with his Bills teammates from his hospital bed, after they all saw him get rushed away from the field in an ambulance.
The NFL community spent the weekend honoring Hamlin across the league – with many players wearing shirts wishing for a speedy recovery.
Late last week, the Bills placed Hamlin on the Injured Reserve list.
