Tom Brady took to Twitter Tuesday morning to offer prayers for Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered cardiac arrest on the field Monday night after tackling Bengals receiver Tee Higgins and is in critical condition at a Cincinnati hospital.
“We’re praying for Damar and his family this morning in Tampa,” Brady wrote. “Moments like this put into perspective what it means to play this game we love. Thankful for our communities in Cincinnati and Buffalo for the overwhelming level of care and support I know they’ll continue to provide.”
The Bills said Hamlin’s heartbeat was restored on the field before the 24-year-old was transported by ambulance to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The Bills-Bengals game was postponed during the first quarter.
Hamlin’s marketing representative Jordon Rooney provided an update on his condition Monday night.

Rooney spoke with “Good Morning America” on Tuesday to share the latest.
“I can’t speak specifically on his medical condition. [What] I will say is, he’s fighting. He’s a fighter,” Rooney said. “The family’s in good spirits. We’re honestly just taking it minute by minute, hour by hour.”
Stefon Diggs and other Bills teammates remained in Cincinnati to be near Hamlin, while others reportedly flew home Monday night.
