Stefon Diggs proves he's the ultimate teammate, visits Damar Hamlin in hospital as Bills wait on update

The Buffalo Bills players are likely still shaken after Damar Hamlin's scary injury and are waiting around to learn about their teammate's status. But not Stefon Diggs.

The superstar wide receiver is reportedly not with the rest of the team. Instead, Diggs went to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to get a firsthand update on Damar Hamlin's condition.

Stefon Diggs isn't the only one at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. A herd of Bills and Bengals fans have also gathered outside the hospital and are praying for Hamlin's well-being.

During the first quarter of the Bengals and Bills' Monday night battle, Hamlin collapsed on the field after tackling Cincinnati wide receiver Tee Higgins. The Bills' safety was reportedly not breathing when he collapsed, alarming the team's medical staff, who quickly performed CPR.

Hamlin was rushed off the field in an ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after receiving emergency treatment before players on both teams decided to walk off. The game was later called off, and the Bills are reportedly not sticking around in Cincinnati to potentially play the game tomorrow.
