Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin returned to the football field five months after experiencing cardiac arrest during a game.

Hamlin received life-saving CPR on the field, and doctors cleared him to play football again last month.

His coach, Sean McDermott, said Hamlin is taking things “one day at a time,” cautiously observing his progress.

Hamlin did not participate in team sessions, but was seen doing individual drills and stretching during the Bills’ Organized Team Activities (OTAs).

McDermott shared that Hamlin was "in the building working," not practicing with the team, before he was seen on the field.

After getting medical clearance in April, Hamlin announced his plans to return to the NFL, stating that his health scare was life-changing but not the end of his story.

The announcement of his return received mixed responses, with some fans expressing concern for his health.

The National Football League honored Hamlin and the medical team that saved his life before this year’s Super Bowl.

During his speech, Hamlin expressed gratitude for being alive and said that his experience could inspire others to keep fighting no matter their circumstances.

Hamlin acknowledged his long recovery journey ahead and emphasized the importance of knowing one's purpose when facing fears.
