He\u2019s still in intensive care and having some problems with his kidneys and his lungs but the doctors say he is improving. I just wanted to head off any rumors that may be started.

After the tackle, Hamlin got up, took a step backward, and fell to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Timothy A. Pritts and Dr. William Knight told reporters that Hamlin has shown \u201csubstantial improvement\u201d in his recovery over the last couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>The doctors said that Hamlin was able to move his hands and feet and was able to communicate through writing, but they said it was too early to know if he would make a full recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he asked did we win, the answer is, yes, you know, Damar, you won, you\u2019ve won the game of life,\u201d Pritts said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that he\u2019s home and that appears that all cylinders are firing within his brain,\u201d Pritts said. \u201cWhich is greatly gratifying for all of us, for the nurses and respiratory therapists and caregivers as for his family and for everybody else beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the doctors were asked about what caused Hamlin to go into cardiac arrest, they said that they do not know, but that answers could emerge in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe answer to that is that workup is ongoing,\u201d Dr. William Knight answered. \u201cWe do not have definitive answers as to the etiology of the arrest at this time and that tests will continue to be ongoing as he continues to progress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former NFL running back Peyton Hillis, who was on the cover of the 2012 Madden NFL video game, has been hospitalized after reportedly saving his children from drowning in the ocean.
