Some members of the Buffalo organization will stay behind, according to WXIX-TV in Cincinnati.

With Bills safety Damar Hamlin in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, the team has made the decision to fly back to Buffalo, according to a report from Joe Danneman of WXIX-TV in Cincinnati.

Danneman added that “there are people from the organization who will stay with Damar and the family.” One such person appears to be Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who was filmed entering the hospital by ESPN after the game’s suspension.

Hamlin collapsed during the first quarter of Buffalo’s game against Cincinnati after tackling Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. He was administered CPR on the field, after which he was transported to the hospital via ambulance. The teams soon retreated to their respective locker rooms and about an hour later, the NFL postponed the game.

The 24-year-old Hamlin, who played parts of five collegiate seasons for Pittsburgh near his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa., has played 29 games in two seasons and has started 13 games for Buffalo this season.

In response to one of the scariest nights in NFL history, fans came together to support a cause dear to Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

Hamlin, who is in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after collapsing during Buffalo’s game against the Bengals on Monday night, ran a toy drive through his Chasing M’s Foundation. The drive was run through GoFundMe, with a goal of raising $2,500 to “positively impact children who have been hardest hit by the pandemic.”

Fans responded to Hamlin’s injury with a flurry of donations. The drive’s goal has now been exceeded by over 40,000%, as the total amount is at $878,000 and climbing late Monday night, including a contribution from one donor who gave $5,000 identifying themselves only as a “Fan of Damar.”

Monday night’s game between the Bills and Bengals came to an abrupt, frightening halt midway through the first quarter when Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after making a tackle. Hamlin was administered CPR on the field, and eventually taken off in an ambulance and transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he received treatment while in “critical condition.”

After initially saying the game would resume, officials announced on the field that the game would be “temporarily suspended.” After over an hour of waiting, the league eventually announced that the game would be postponed.

“Our thoughts are with Damar and the Buffalo Bills. We will provide more information as it becomes available,” the NFL announced in a statement. “The NFL has been in constant communication with the NFL Players Association which is in agreement with postponing the game.”
