I talked to his mom and everything is OK, he\u2019s doing good, so I\u2019m in a good place right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd suddenly she\u2019s telling me that he\u2019s OK. And just all the positive stuff,\u201d he continued. \u201cI mean it feels good just knowing that he\u2019s OK, he\u2019s doing better, and it makes me feel better inside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> The play prior to Hamlin collapsed was available in the very first quarter of the video game Monday night, as Hamlin collapsed after taking on Higgins at the tail end of a 13-yard conclusion. Hamlin at first stood, then collapsed. Higgins, who had actually not seen Hamlin stand, at first believed Hamlin had actually tumbled, then understood what was occurring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe being a football player, I\u2019m thinking he just flopped, one of my guys bumped him,\u201d Higgins remembered. \u201cI just seen the fall. I looked again, and I seen what happened, and I just turned my head and trying not to think about it. So I knew it was something crazy and something tragic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Boyd, who has actually preserved contact with Higgins given that Hamlin collapsed, slammed individuals who have actually blamed Higgins, stating, \u201cTee\u2019s a human being, too. It could\u2019ve flipped. It could\u2019ve been Tee. It\u2019s football, at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Costs quarterback Josh Allen revealed comparable beliefs, stating, \u201cI do want to say one more thing: I haven\u2019t reached out to Tee. I hope that he got some relief today. I saw some stuff on Twitter. And people should not be attacking him whatsoever. And I\u2019m glad that Damar\u2019s family came out and said that. And hopefully, he found some relief today. Because that\u2019s a football play. And I hope that he doesn\u2019t hold that upon himself because there\u2019s nothing else that he could have done in that situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> On Thursday, the Buffalo Costs launched a declaration on Hamlin&#8217;s development, mentioning, \u201cPer the physicians caring for Damar Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Damar has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours. While still critically ill, he has demonstrated that he appears to be neurologically intact. His lungs continue to heal, and he is making steady progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tee Higgins, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver who collided with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin before Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field, made his first public comments regarding Hamlin.
