There has been a ton of news across the NFL this week with the start of a new league year and the opening of free agency.
But there might not be another report that makes football fans as happy as this one.
Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network said he spoke to Bills general manager Brandon Beane about Hamlin this week. The safety, who became a household name after he suffered cardiac arrest on the field during the Bills’ Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2, is not only pursuing a return to the football field, per Beane, but is “trending in the right direction” to do so.
Best news I heard this week… Bills GM Brandon Beane telling reporters that Damar Hamlin “trending in right direction” to return to football field soon — something Damar says he wants to do.

“The best news I heard this week wasn’t a signing or a trade,” Wolfe said. “It was Bills general manager Brandon Beane saying it is trending in the right direction for Damar Hamlin to return to the football field. He visited with him a couple of days ago. He said he still has one more doctor meeting to finish up, but he feels like it will be finished up by April, and then they’ll have conversations about his return to the field.”
Hamlin had to be resuscitated on the field and then spent a week at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. As of two weeks ago, Hamlin reportedly still needed clearance from a few specialists.
It sounds like he still has one hurdle left to clear, but Beane is optimistic that he will do so by the end of the month.
Seeing Hamlin back on the field in 2023 would be an incredible, emotional, cathartic moment for Bills fans and everyone else around the NFL who sent him prayers and well-wishes following his on-field collapse. Here’s hoping it happens.
“I spent a lot of time outside that hospital, eight days, while Damar Hamlin was there, and we weren’t sure if he was going to come back and be the same guy,” Wolfe said. “The prospect of him, two-and-a-half months later, of him returning to the football field is an amazing story for Damar, for the Bills and for us as a community.”
