He\u2019s still sedated but main focus is recovering to breathe on his own & healing lungs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA lot of people don\u2019t get to see how loved they are while they\u2019re alive, so for him to have a situation where he could have been taken away and he has a chance to come back and see all that love that he got.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n –\u00a0<\/em>Glenn told\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Coley Harvey\u00a0\u201cHamlin had to be resuscitated twice — once on the field at Paycor Stadium, and once after he arrived at the hospital.

That\u2019s insensitive. That\u2019s not a place we should ever be in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n source:nj<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are the\u00a0latest updates\u00a0on\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0safety\u00a0Damar Hamlin, who remains in\u00a0critical condition\u00a0at\u00a0University of Cincinnati Medical Center\u00a0after going into\u00a0cardiac arrest\u00a0during\u00a0Monday Night Football\u00a0vs. the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals. –\u00a0Wednesday, 9:04 a.m.\u00a0Per\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Coley Harvey: Just chatted with Damar Hamlin\u2019s family friend\u00a0@jordonr.
