Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was fully cleared to return to playing football Tuesday after suffering cardiac arrest in January.

“He’s fully cleared, he’s here and he is of the mindset, he’s in a great head space to come back and make his return,” Brandon Beane said.

Beane described his progress during a Bills press conference as voluntary workouts began Monday in preparation for upcoming OTA’s.

“When he left Cincinnati, he came here, it was Buffalo General [Hospital],” Beane said. “He saw a couple of specialists here in Buffalo and then since then, he’s seen three additional specialists, most recently on Friday and they’re all in agreement. It’s not 2-1 or 3-1 or anything like that. They’re all in lockstep of what this was and that he’s cleared, resumed full activities just like anyone else who was coming back from an injury or whatever.”

Hamlin’s recovery has been relatively quick as he was appearing at the 2023 Super Bowl, a month after the Bills-Bengals game.

“He’s moving forward one step at a time here,” Sean McDermott said. “He’s been cleared from a physical standpoint, and we’ll provide all the mental help we can from a mind, body and spirit standpoint.”

His journey has been followed by Bills fans, but also all of sports as he was supported by millions in his recovery to step on the field again.

“It’s exciting to go from a guy who was fighting for his life to who is now, his story hasn’t been written,” said Beane, who spent multiple days in the hospital with Damar Hamlin and his family. “Now it’s about the comeback and so to see that he, it was all about his health and it’s still, it’s always going to be about his health, but to truly however many months later be talking about he’s been fully cleared is pretty remarkable. And I’m excited for him and his family at where they are in this journey.”
