Wearing a red cap and a Buffalo Bills pullover, safety Damar Hamlin sat down at the podium and declared he's ready to resume playing football.

“This event was life-changing, but it's not the end of my story,” Hamlin said Tuesday, speaking at a news conference at the team's facility for the first time since he went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the field during a game at Cincinnati some four months ago.“My heart is still in the game. I love the game. It's something I want to prove to myself, not nobody else.

Beane said the clearance came after Hamlin met with a third and final specialist on Friday, with all three being in agreement that Hamlin can resume playing without any fear of setbacks or complications. While the Bills had their head athletic trainer sit in on Hamlin's meetings with specialists, Beane said the team is following the lead of the specialists.

Hamlin's recovery is personal to many who watched in shock as Hamlin collapsed on the field on a nationally televised “Monday Night Football” game, but moreso for Beane. While the Bills returned home after the game initially was suspended and eventually canceled, Beane spent the first four days at Hamlin's side, including when he was awakened from a medically induced coma at the University Cincinnati Medical Center.

The second-year player from Pittsburgh's exurb of McKee's Rock spent nearly 10 days recovering in hospitals in Cincinnati and Buffalo before being released. He eventually began visiting the Bills' facility and attended the team's season-ending 27-10 loss to Cincinnati in the divisional round of the playoffs.
