An amazing turn of events for the Bills safety who was brought back to life three times after collapsing in Monday nights game… He’s speaking!

Damar Hamlin’s breathing tube was removed last night and he was able to talk to his family and care team.

Quarterback Josh Allen spoke for the first time since Hamlin’s emergency and assured reporters that the team was prepared to face the New England Patriots. He and head coach Sean McDermott agreed that this was partly because of the positive updates they received, along with encouragement from Hamlin’s father.

“We just want to love up on him the next chance we get,” Allen said. “I don’t know when it’s going to be, but if we get to see him again anytime soon, it’s going to be awesome.”

This morning, the team says that the 24-year-old was able to speak with his team on FaceTime, saying “love you boys.”

He reportedly also flexed with both arms, made a heart symbol, and gave a thumbs up. I am legit crying.
