HeadlineJan 12, 2023

In sports news, Buffalo Bills defensive player Damar Hamlin has been released from the hospital to continue his recovery at home. His release came nine days after he suffered a cardiac arrest on the field and twice had to be resuscitated during a Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. In recent years, the NFL has faced increased scrutiny over player safety, as more research links the full-contact sport with concussion-related traumatic brain injury and other negative health outcomes.
