The Bills provided an amazing update on Damar Hamlin this Wednesday morning. 

Hamlin has been discharged from Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute. He was admitted on Monday and went through a "comprehensive medical evaluation" as well as a series of cardiac, neurological and vascular testing.

Jamie Handler, a critical care physician and chief quality officer at Kaleida Health, commented on Hamlin's outlook moving forward. 

"We have completed a series of tests and evaluations, and in consultation with the team physicians, we are confident that Damar can be safely discharged to continue his rehabilitation at home and with the Bills," Handler said

As you'd expect, the NFL world is thrilled that Hamlin is cleared to rehab at home.  

"The news we’ve all waited for," Cole Harvey tweeted. 

"Incredible," NFL Network's Mike Giardi said. 

"The fact that this man just came out of an induced coma a week ago today, and is now headed home. It’s unreal. All the respect and gratefulness to the first responders and medical staff," Kristen Kimmick wrote. 

Hopefully, Hamlin will be able to attend a playoff game for the Bills this postseason. That would certainly give the team a lift.

We're wishing Hamlin all the best as he continues this recovery process.
