Damar Hamlin expressed his love and gratitude in tweets after being released from the hospital

“Headed home to Buffalo today with a lot of love on my heart.”

It’s remarkable the amount of progress Damar Hamlin has made in a week.

On Monday, Hamlin was released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and has since returned to Buffalo. Just one week after having a cardiac arrest on the field during a game following a tackle, Hamlin has seen remarkable progress in his recovery.

Not only that, Hamlin’s been tweeting up a storm in his NFL absence, as seemingly nothing could stop him from livetweeting the Bills exciting 35-23 win over the Patriots on Sunday. And when Hamlin was released from the hospital, he had nothing but love for his supporters and the hospital staff that worked diligently to care for him.

Something like this truly is bigger than football. Congratulations to Hamlin on this next step to a hopefully full recovery!
