Players, coaches and football fans are anxiously awaiting updates about Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who suffered a cardiac arrest during Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Hamlin's heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was sedated and in critical condition as of early Tuesday morning.
In a statement released midday Tuesday, Hamlin's family thanked first responders, medical professionals, both football teams and fans around their country for their support, prayers and donations.
"Please keep Damar in your prayers," they said. "We will release updates as soon as we have them."

..."After his injury, fans showed their support for Hamlin by contributing millions of dollars to an online fundraiser that Hamlin started back in 2020 — before he went pro — aimed at buying toys for kids affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in his hometown. As of midday Tuesday it had raised more than $3.8 million, far surpassing its original goal of $2,500.
Hamlin wrote on the page that this fundraiser would be the first program of the Chasing M's Foundation, which he created to give back to his community (Hamlin is also the founder and CEO of Chasing M's, a clothing brand he developed while in college).
"As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I come from and I am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me," he said."...

Hamlin seems like a very inspirational young man. My wife and I are praying for a full recovery.
