Damar Hamlin already back at work, is all smiles in FaceTime call with Meek Mill

Damar Hamlin is wasting no time in getting back to work.

The Buffalo Bills safety suffered a cardiac arrest during his team's Monday Night Football clash against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. He is recovering at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and is sharing updates with fans via his social media accounts.

Earlier today, he tweeted:

​

"Putting love into the world comes back 3xs as much… thankful for everyone who has reached out and prayed. This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me!"

Hamlin also shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with rapper Meek Mill and Fanatics' Executive Chairman Michael Rubin with the caption reading:

"Back Working! Back Smiling!"

The Bills are going one step further. Their gameday uniform on Sunday against the New England Patriots will bear a patch that reads '3', Hamlin's jersey number.

Teams and players have gone above and beyond in supporting Hamlin. The Bills safety's GoFundMe page, which had set a goal of receiving $2,500 in donations, has garnered over $8.25 million and continues to rise. All 32 NFL teams and players, including Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford, have made sizeable donations to Hamlin's cause.

The Bills star will now cheer for his team from afar for the rest of the season after being placed on IR. Buffalo will take on the Patriots on Sunday, hoping for a win to not only knock New England out of the running for a playoff spot but also ensure they avoid a trip to Arrowhead Stadium for the AFC Championship game.
