The family for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin said during an interview Tuesday night that the 24-year-old athlete had to be resuscitated multiple times after going into cardiac arrest during Monday night’s football game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hamlin collapsed with about six minutes left in the first quarter of the Monday Night Football game after he tackled Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins, who had just pulled in a 13-yard catch. After the tackle, Hamlin got up, took a step backward, and fell to the ground.

Dorrian Glenn, Hamlin’s uncle, told CNN that doctors had his nephew “flipped over on his stomach” to help with the blood on his lungs because he sustained “some damage to his lungs,” the report said.

Hamlin is still sedated and on a ventilator, Glenn added.

“His heart had went out so they had to resuscitate him twice,” Glenn said. “They resuscitated him on the field before they brought him to the hospital and then they resuscitated him a second time when they got him to the hospital.”

Glenn said that it seems like Hamlin is “trending upwards in a positive way.”

Local sports reporter Josh Reed added that Glenn gave him a little more information on Hamlin’s health.

“Just spoke with Damar Hamlin’s uncle. Damar was originally on 100% oxygen and is now down to 50%,” Reed said. “Says the family is hanging in there. He thanked Bills fans, and Bengals fans and asked for continued prayers.”

The Bills released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying that Hamlin was still listed in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Hamlin’s family released a statement Tuesday afternoon expressing their gratitude for the outpouring of support that fans have shown following the incident.

“On behalf of our family, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to Damar during this challenging time,” the statement said. “We are deeply moved by the prayers, kind words, and donations from fans around the country.”

“We also want to acknowledge the dedicated first responders and healthcare professionals at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center who have provided exceptional care to Damar,” the statement continued. “We feel so blessed to be part of the Buffalo Bills organization and to have their support. We also want to thank Coach Taylor and the Bengals for everything they’ve done. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us. Please keep Damar in your prayers. We will release updates as soon as we have them.”

Actor Jeremy Renner shared an update with fans on Tuesday following an accident in which a Snowcat reportedly ran over his leg on New Year’s Day.

In a brief post on Instagram, the 51-year-old actor thanked fans for their support, sharing a photo in which one half of his face is severely bruised as a result of the snowplow accident.

“Thank you all for your kind words,” Renner captioned his post. “Im [sic] too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.” His post also included a praying hand emoji.

The post was the first message shared on social media by the Marvel star since news surfaced that he had been injured while removing snow from the driveway of his Nevada home. He had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital.

On Monday, a spokesperson said Renner was “in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow earlier today,” Deadline reported. “His family is with him and he is receiving excellent care.”

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office public information officer Kristin Vietti said, “Upon arrival, deputies coordinated with Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and REMSA Health to arrange for medical transport of Jeremy Renner via care flight to a local area hospital” from his home about 25 miles outside of Reno, as previously reported.

Renner’s family later confirmed that he had “suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today, January 2nd 2023,” People reported. “He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.”

On Tuesday evening, Renner’s publicist, Samantha Mast, said “The Hurt Locker” star is making progress, but remains in the ICU, CNN reported.

“Jeremy is making positive progress and is awake, talking and in good spirits,” Mast shared. “He remains in ICU in critical but stable condition. He is overwhelmed by the showing of love and support. The family asks for your continued thoughts while he heals with his close loved ones.”
