Set for season debut
Hamlin is on the active roster for Sunday's home matchup against Tennessee.
Analysis: Hamlin has yet to play a snap in the NFL since last season's near-tragic cardiac incident that caused the postponement of a game and put his playing future in jeopardy. He's since been cleared to practice and play in full, and he will now get his chance to once again see live game action. This is partially due to team need for depth in the secondary, as fellow safety Jordan Poyer (knee) is inactive for the contest. Hamlin was a meaningful contributor during his rookie season in 2022 prior to…read more

Inactive for opener
Hamlin is inactive for Monday night's season opener against the Jets.
Analysis: Hamlin, who has bounced back from his life-threatening cardiac incident in January, wasn't on the Bills' Week 1 injury report after finishing second on the team with 10 tackles in the preseason. Per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, the safety's Week 1 inactive status stems from the team's current roster depth at defensive back.

Important milestone
Hamlin participated in a full contact practice Monday for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest Jan. 2, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports."I'm just thankful," Hamlin said. "I'm just blessed to be able to do what I wanted to do as a kid again, at the highest level, after going through such a traumatic situation. To be able to come out here and compete again at the highest level in the world. That's such a blessing."
Analysis: Hamlin has come all the way back from his life-threatening cardiac incident and is now able to sport full pads while tackling and doing everything else associated with full contact. While his return is inspiring, it's not clear where he fits in a deep Bills secondary now that star safety Micah Hyde is also healthy. This will be an important camp and preseason for Hamlin as he tries to lock down a meaningful reserve role on Buffalo's Week 1 roster.

Full participant Tuesday
Hamlin, who suffered cardiac arrest during a Jan. 2 game versus the Bengals, was a full participant at practice Tuesday.
Analysis: Hamlin got fully cleared for football activities in mid-April, but Tuesday was the first time the safety was a full participant in a practice since his scary departure in Week 16 last year. The 2021 sixth-round pick's recovery has been remarkable, but he now finds himself battling for a roster spot in a secondary that features Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, who are both healthy after missing extended time last year due to injuries.

Cleared for football activities
GM Brandon Beane noted Tuesday that Hamlin, who suffered cardiac arrest during a Jan. 2 game against the Bengals, has been fully cleared to return to playing football, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
Analysis: "He is fully cleared," Beane said of the 25-year-old, adding that Hamlin is "in a great headspace to make his return." Getzenberg also relays that Hamlin, who saw his last specialist Friday, is present and participating in the Bills' current voluntary workouts, which started Monday. As Hamlin continues to progress in his remarkable recovery, he'll be a candidate to rejoin Buffalo's secondary this coming season and bolster the depth of a safety corps that features Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.

Return to play a possibility
Hamlin continues to progress from his cardiac arrest suffered Jan. 2 and has recovered enough that he's hoping to return to the NFL in the future, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Said general manager Brandon Bean this week, "He's dialed in. He definitely has every intention to play. He's got, I know of one more visit, but I think they'll get wrapped up by sometime in April, as it stands now."
Analysis: Hamlin still has a long road ahead and will need to work through several steps of clearance, but it's beyond encouraging that the discussion has turned to football just a couple of months after his life was at stake. It's unclear if Hamlin will have any restrictions if he does return to action in 2023, where he'd likely serve as a depth safety for the Bills behind Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.

More good news
Hamlin was discharged from a Buffalo-area hospital Tuesday and will be allowed to continue his recovery from home, the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: This is simply the best possible outcome for Hamlin, the Bills and pretty much the entire football world after what happened on the field just over a week ago. While Hamlin was placed on IR three days ago, we wouldn't be surprised if he's able to at least be around his teammates at some point during the Bills' playoff march, which begins Sunday against Miami. We should know in a few months whether Hamlin will be allowed to resume his football career.

Released from hospital
Hamlin was released from University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Monday and has been cleared to return home to Buffalo, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: One week after suffering from cardiac arrest in a game against the Bengals that was postponed and eventually canceled, Hamlin has made incredible progress in his recovery and will now work to regain strength back at home. According to Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, Dr. Timothy Pritts said that Hamlin, who resumed walking Friday, is ahead of schedule in his recovery, though the 24-year-old will still require multiple weeks or months to return to his normal state of health prior to the…read more

Placed on IR
The Bills placed Hamlin on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: The roster move officially ends Hamlin's season, but more importantly, the reports regarding the 24-year-old safety's recovery from the cardiac incident he suffered in Monday's game against the Bengals -- which has since been postponed -- have been increasingly positive in recent days. The Bills announced earlier Friday that Hamlin, who remains in intensive care at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, had his breathing tube removed overnight and has since resumed speaking with his…read more

Shows responsiveness at hospital
Two University of Cincinnati Health physicians provided a positive update on Hamlin's status Thursday, noting that the 24-year-old has "made substantial improvement in his condition over the past 24 hours," Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Specifically, physicians William Knight IV and Timothy Pritts said that Hamlin is awake and has been responsive with the ability to move both his hands and feet. Additionally, his neurological condition and function appears to be intact after he suffered cardiac arrest during Monday's game against the Bengals. The doctors relayed that Hamlin is still intubated to assist with breathing, and the next step in his recovery will be for him to advance to breathing on his own. While Knight and Pritts…read more

He was then given CPR by emergency medical personnel before being loaded into an ambulance via stretcher, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.

Records double-digit tackles
Hamlin had 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Hamlin has racked up 10 or more tackles in each of his last three matchups, and he also logged a season high in snaps with 78 in Week 10. The Pittsburgh product has recorded 62 tackles (46 solo) and 1.5 sacks through nine contests in 2022.

Double-digit tackles Sunday
Hamlin tallied 10 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 27-17 victory over the Packers.
Analysis: Hamlin logged a season high in tackles as he continued to serve as Buffalo's starting free safety with Micah Hyde (neck) sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 24-year-old has now recorded 39 tackles (30 solo) and 0.5 sacks over seven games in his second NFL season. Hamlin should put up another prolific stat line against the Jets this coming Sunday.

Seven solo tackles in win
Hamlin recorded seven solo tackles during Sunday's 24-20 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: With Micah Hyde (neck) sidelined, Hamlin has stepped up as the Bills' starting free safety, recording 26 tackles and half a sack across his last four appearances. Buffalo has a Week 7 bye, so the second-year safety will look to continue his strong play against the Packers in Week 8.

Another eight-tackle game Sunday
Hamlin recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: For a second consecutive week, Hamlin logged eight stops en route to a Buffalo victory. With Micah Hyde (neck) expected to miss the rest of the 2022 campaign with a neck injury, Hamlin figures to continue serving as one of the team's starting safeties alongside Jordan Poyer, who has already missed two games this year with foot and rib injuries. The 24-year-old Hamlin's next chance to shine comes Sunday in Kansas City.

Big test awaits
Hamlin is expected to start at safety with both starters -- Michael Hyde (neck) and Jordan Poyer (foot) -- out of commission for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Hamlin hasn't seen much action on defense after being selected in the sixth round of the 2021 Draft (59 snaps in total), but he'll have a big opportunity to show that he's ready for more responsibility if he can help the depleted Bills slow down what's become a strong Miami passing attack.
