Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin needed emergency, life-saving treatment on the field after collapsing immediately following a tackle during Monday night’s showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was transported via ambulance to a Cincinnati hospital where he remains in critical condition.
Members of the Green Bay Packers expressed dismay over the frightening situation and offered support for Hamlin via social media on Monday night and into Tuesday.
Here’s a collection of the messages:
Full of so many different emotions. Just thinking about @HamlinIsland and his family. Your football family is with you as well. This is bigger than the game.
