The Damar Hamlin comeback story continues to chug along.<\/p>\n
Hamlin has made the Buffalo Bills’ initial 53-man roster, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday ahead of the deadline for NFL team’s to trim their rosters to 53, per a source informed of the decision.<\/p>\n
It’s little surprise Hamlin would make the cut, but it’s notable.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old has hit every benchmark on his path back to the NFL since suffering a cardiac arrest during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2. From returning to the club to participating in offseason practices to playing in the preseason, it’s all gone smoothly for the safety.<\/p>\n
Hamlin has worked as a backup safety and a special teamer — gigs he should continue to man into the regular season. The best moments from this preseason were seeing Hamlin fearlessly make plays with no hint of trepidation following his life-threatening incident.<\/p>\n
Given the scene on the field 239 days ago, it’s been a remarkable turnaround for Hamlin to continue his NFL career.<\/p>\n
