Damar Hamlin competed in the Buffalo Bills' preseason opener on Saturday, marking the safety's first taste of competitive action since he suffered a cardiac arrest during an NFL game in early January.
After Buffalo scored a touchdown early in the first quarter of their home game versus the Indianapolis Colts, Hamlin came on the field to join the kickoff team and later played on defense where he made an immediate impact.
"It was fun, it was super fun," Hamlin, who was credited with three solo tackles in the Bills' 23-19 victory, told reporters. "It was a great experience you know what I'm saying? Just another milestone and the step of getting back to myself as far as in the football space and the NFL."
