The sports world continues to wait and hope for positive updates on Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who was in critical condition at University of Cincinnati Medical Center as of Tuesday night after going into cardiac arrest during the first quarter of their game against the Bengals on “Monday Night Football.”

The Bills released a statement on Hamlin’s status early Tuesday afternoon.

“Damar Hamlin spent last night in the intensive care unit and remains there today in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center,” the team said. “We are grateful and thankful for the outpouring of support we have received thus far.”

Dorrian Glenn, Hamlin’s uncle, told reporters Tuesday evening that Hamlin was breathing with 50 percent assistance from a ventilator, down from 100 percent, which was “a good sign.” He said Hamlin had to be resuscitated twice after the incident — once on the field and once at the hospital.
