Damar Hamlin was injured during Buffalo’s Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bills safety made a tackle against Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, and following the collision, Hamlin got back on his feet, took a couple of steps and collapsed on the field. It’s a terrifying situation in Cincinnati.
The officials immediately stopped play and medical personnel made their way quickly onto the field.
Below is a replay of the collision that involved Hamlin.
