Per the physicians at UCMC, Damar’s breathing tube was removed overnight. He continues to progress remarkably in his recovery.
His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team.
Damar remains in the ICU in critical condition with signs of improvement noted yesterday and overnight.
He is expected to remain under intensive care as his health care team continues to monitor and treat him.
Damar Hamlin spent last night in the intensive care unit and remains there today in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
We are grateful and thankful for the outpouring of support we have received thus far.
Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a hit in our game versus the Bengals. His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition.
After more than 24 harrowing hours, Beth Booker's mom, Carole McDanel, was found alive and has since been transported to safety. This was their story leading up to that moment. https://t.co/lMxcWUccSj

I've contacted two of the volunteer rescue organizations, Lee County Emergency Services, FEMA, and 911.
I've called her and texted her to let her know, just in case, that help is coming.
Do me a favor- If it feels right, call your own mom and tell her that you love her.
Called @LeeEOC to make sure that my mom is on the rescue list. She is on Egret Street on Fort Myers Beach at the south end of the Island. She is 78 years old & I have not heard from her in almost 3 hours. Her car and house are under water. @NBC2 @winknews @ABC7SWFL
I need help.
