Damar Hamlin hugs Bengals' receivers before Sunday Night Football game
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was on hand at Paycor Stadium for the first time since he collapsed and suffered cardiac arrest on the field in a game January 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals that wasn't completed.
Hamlin embraced Cincinnati Bengals receivers Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd among others during an on-field, pregame meeting with both players ahead of the Bengals' 24-18 win on NBC's Sunday Night Football.
And Hamlin took time to himself for reflection on the field after the game.
Hamlin was inactive for the game. He's only been active for one game this season.
