Damar Hamlin is set to make his first NFL start since suffering a cardiac arrest on the field in 2023.
Bills coach Sean McDermott confirmed the safety will play from the off when they take on the Arizona Cardinals in week one of the NFL season.
Hamlin, 26, collapsed on the field in Cincinnati after tackling Bengals safety Tee Higgins on January 3, 2023.
He required immediate treatment on the turf, where paramedics were able to restore his heartbeat before rushing him to a nearby hospital.
Doctors ultimately determined that Hamlin fell victim to commotio cordis – a rare condition in which cardiac rhythm is disrupted by a blow to the chest.
