Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has received the green light to return to football activities after experiencing a cardiac arrest during a game in January. Speaking to reporters for the first time since the incident, Hamlin revealed that his health scare was caused by commotio cordis, a rare condition where a strong impact to the chest disrupts the heart’s electrical rhythm. This revelation comes as the 25-year-old prepares to rejoin his team for the upcoming season.

Since that harrowing day, Hamlin has been on a remarkable journey towards recovery. He has been spotted at the Bills’ practice facility in Orchard
