Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been cleared for football activities over three months after suffering a cardiac arrest on the field during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Bills general manager Brandon Beane made the announcement on Tuesday, telling reporters Hamlin is ready to make his return to the field.
"He’s seen three additional specialists, most recently on Friday, and they’re all in agreement," Beane told reporters. "It’s not two-to-one, or three-to-one. They’re all in lockstep of what this was and that he is cleared to resume full activities, just like anyone else who is coming back from an injury or whatever.

"So, he’s fully cleared, he’s here, and he is of the mindset – he is in a great headspace – to come back and make his return."
During "Monday Night Football" against the Bengals, Hamlin fell to the turf following a tackle and was administered CPR before an ambulance rushed him to the hospital.
He was released from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center nearly one week later before heading to another hospital in Buffalo.

While his recovery was remarkable, whether he could continue his football career was a different conversation altogether.
In an interview with Michael Strahan that aired on Super Bowl Sunday, Hamlin said he hoped to return to the game.
"Eventually. That's always the goal. I'm allowing that to be in God's hands," Hamlin said.

Hamlin is participating in voluntary workouts with the Bills this week.
"We're super excited for Damar," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday, per NFL Network. "He's moving forward one step at a time here. He's been cleared from a physical standpoint. We'll provide all the mental help we can from a mind, body and spirit standpoint. Just happy for him that he's been able to check some of those boxes to this point, and we're moving forward, but taking it one day at a time."
