  • Bills' Damar Hamlin: Reliable in return to starting role

    Hamlin recorded 89 tackles (62 solo), two interceptions and a fumble recovery over 14 regular-season games in 2024.

    Hamlin played just five games during the 2023 season after suffering cardiac arrest on the field late in the Bills' 2022 campaign, but he led the team's safeties in snaps in 2024. He was sidelined for three games during the year, but his 835 defensive snaps were a career high, and only Dorian Williams (117) and Terrel Bernard (104) racked up more total tackles for the Bills. Hamlin has become a fan favorite around Highmark Stadium, but he'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Bills' Damar Hamlin: Starting in wild-card round

    Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Monday that Hamlin will return to his starting safety spot in Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Broncos, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

    Hamlin returned from a ribs injury in the Bills' Week 18 loss to the Patriots, playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording six total tackles. There were questions about whether the 26-year-old would be ready for the playoffs after missing three games leading up to Week 18, but McDermott's comments Monday clarified that Hamlin is ready. Expect Hamlin to start alongside Taylor Rapp as part of Buffalo's top safety duo Sunday.

  • Bills' Damar Hamlin: Returning for Week 18

    Hamlin (ribs) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    The 26-year-old safety from Pittsburgh has missed Buffalo's last three games due to back and ribs injuries, but it now appears that he'll return for the team's regular-season finale Sunday. Although the Bills have already clinched the AFC's No. 2 seed and are resting some of their starters, head coach Sean McDermott clarified that Hamlin will play "some" of the Week 18 contest, likely sitting out after receiving extra in-game reps, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com.

  • Bills' Damar Hamlin: Won't play against Jets

    Hamlin got in a round of limited practices this week and appears to be on track to return after a two-game absence due to back and ribs issues. He has started all 13 games he's appeared in this season, logging 83 tackles (58 solo) and five pass breakups, including a pair of interceptions.

  • Bills' Damar Hamlin: Listed as inactive

    Hamlin (ribs) will not play in Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.

    Hamlin's absence will mark his second straight. He sat out last week due to a back injury, but he will now sit out with a rib issue. When healthy, the fourth-year safety has established himself as a regular starter on the defense. In his absence, and with Taylor Rapp (neck) also sidelined, Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop are the only healthy safeties going into the game, though the Bills have players that can serve in a hybrid role if needed.

The fourth-year safety has missed only one game this campaign, establishing himself as a regular starter for Buffalo's defense. He's now logged 83 tackles (58 solo), two interceptions and one fumble recovery across 13 games this season.
