As the sports world continues its outpouring of support and hope for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, one of his teammates has offered insight into how the organization is processing the situation.
Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins appeared on SportsCenter and discussed how the team is only focused on Hamlin. He said that they are channeling all the energy they have in to supporting those around Hamlin, including those on the Bills roster that are closest to him.
While Dawkins acknowledges that their work as NFL players will continue, their efforts to support Hamlin’s family and friends will remain paramount.

The Bills did get “a guardedly optimistic update” about Hamlin’s condition on Tuesday, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. While he remains in critical condition at UC Medical Center, Hamlin’s uncle Dorrian Glenn has shared that his nephew’s breathing has improved and has “a chance to recover.”
The #Bills’ players received a guardedly optimistic update from the team earlier today on Damar Hamlin. Now, Hamlin’s uncle is providing positive updates as well. No change in his status, which remains critical but some hope, at least. https://t.co/FYMCEu94mC

Just spoke with Dorrian Glenn — Damar Hamlin’s uncle — who said his nephew is on a ventilator but he’s improved to 50% oxygen needed after being at 100%. He’s still sedated but main focus is recovering to breathe on his own & healing lungs.
