Bills General Manager has expressed confidence in Damar Hamlin's potential NFL comeback, noting that the athlete has been "trending in the right direction".

​   Damar Hamlin, a safety for the Buffalo Bills, has expressed his desire to return to football despite facing a long road to recovery after suffering cardiac arrest during a game in January.
​

​   According to Bills General Manager Brandon Beane, Hamlin is "trending in the right direction" after a recent doctor's appointment, but still has more medical consultations to attend. Beane noted that the team is taking a cautious approach and consulting with all medical experts to ensure that Hamlin is safe to return to the field.

​
   After being given CPR on the field for over nine minutes, Hamlin spent more than a week in a Cincinnati hospital. When he regained consciousness, his first question was about the game's outcome, which had been postponed and eventually canceled.
​

   Despite this traumatic experience, Hamlin has expressed a desire to return to the NFL, but he is taking a cautious approach and letting God decide his fate. He emphasized that his primary concern is to live as normal a life as possible and that the doctors are working hard to get him back to full health.

​

   "It's a long road," Hamlin said. "They can't really tell because it's up to me, or it's just a matter of time. They're just worried about trying to get me back to normal as much as they can."
