Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s inspiring comeback story continues to unfold as he took a significant stride toward returning to the NFL. During Bills OTAs on Tuesday, Hamlin fully participated in practice, a confirmation provided by the team.
Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott did not provide specific details about Hamlin’s recovery timeline. Hamlin participating in Tuesday’s practice marked a significant step forward, who still has approximately two months before the Bills’ first preseason game.
If Hamlin pulls off this comeback, it would be generational. How many players in every sport say, “I would die for this sh*t”. Well, guess what, Damar Hamlin kept it 10 toes down and actually did and STILL came back. Some people on Twitter even mentioned that Hamlin passed away last year on the field and still came back before Michael Thomas who is dealing with a toe injury and Ben Simmons who is dealing with “being ass”.
This is a MAJOR gut punch to everyone who thought they were wheeling out a fake Damar Hamlin during the Bill’s playoff run last year. They had to take off their tinfoil hats when they saw that it might actually be him participating in Bills OTA’s. Nothing will compare to that Monday night when it seemed like all of America came together and prayed for Damar and spread his GoFundMe like wildfire. It was a wholesome moment as a country.
