Damar Hamlin returns to Bills facility as team prepares for playoff game vs. Dolphins

Just 12 days after going into cardiac arrest on the field, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin returned to the team's facility. The Bills face the Dolphins on Sunday.

Damar Hamlin is back with his Buffalo Bills just 12 days after going into an in-game cardiac arrest.

Hamlin had to be resuscitated for over nine minutes after collapsing following a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2. He was released from the hospital on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old safety was able to communicate with doctors three days after the incident, and he spoke with teammates last Friday.

There's been speculation among fans that Hamlin could possibly lead the Bills out of the tunnel prior to their wild-card round matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

His return to the team facility is certainly a good sign.

It had been the first time the Bills returned a kick for a score in three years and three months. Hamlin wears No. 3.

The Bills host the Dolphins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
