\n Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin returned to the field on Saturday in his first NFL game<\/a> since suffering cardiac arrest during a game in January.<\/p>\n

\n Hamlin played in the Bills\u2019 preseason Week 1 game, which they won against the Indianapolis Colts at Highmark Stadium, with Hamlin recording three tackles during the first half.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt was fun, it was super fun, it was a great experience, just another milestone and a step up to just getting back to myself as far as the football space,\u201d the player said in a post-game interview<\/a>. \u201cJust chopping this tree down as much as I can, one step [at a time].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Hamlin collapsed on the field during a Jan. 2 Monday Night Football\u00a0<\/em>game between the\u00a0Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. At the time, medical officials administered CPR on the field before he was taken to a hospital in critical condition. It was later revealed that he had gone into cardiac arrest, and he was released from the hospital a week after his collapse.<\/p>\n

\n The safety later opened up about his physical and emotional recovery following the incident in a February sit-down interview with Good Morning America.<\/em> \u201cI\u2019m just thankful [God] gave me a second chance just to live normally and just come out almost without a scratch on me,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cJust to be able to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Added head coach Sean McDermott after Saturday\u2019s game: \u201cWhat we just witnessed to me is remarkable. It really is. It\u2019s a true sign of a young man\u2019s courage and, obviously, everyone that helped him get to this point. I know there\u2019s a football game going on out there today, but I mean, truly remarkable display of courage and strength and faith.\u201d<\/p>\n
