Damar Hamlin’s heart stopped twice following the nasty collision from Monday night that no one can forget.
That is according to the player’s uncle, who provided an update on his condition in an interview with CNN on Tuesday night and discussed the horrifying ordeal of watching everything happen in real time.
Hamlin is believed to have suffered a blow that caused his heart to stop during the Monday Night Football fixture between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills. The young safety was administered CPR on the field, which took around nine minutes to get his heart working again.
