News

  • Limited participant Friday

    Hamlin (ribs) will be limited in Friday's practice and is questionable for this weekend's matchup against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hamlin missed out on last week's win over Detroit with a back injury, but he's now questionable for Sunday's outing against New England with a ribs injury. The fourth-year safety has missed only one game this campaign, establishing himself as a regular starter for Buffalo's defense. He's now logged 83 tackles (58 solo), two interceptions and one fumble recovery across 13 games this season.

  • Out Sunday

    Hamlin (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: The starting safety practiced in full Wednesday before missing Thursday's session. Hamlin has 83 tackles (58 solo), five pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a fumble recovery on the year. With Hamlin and Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder) both out, Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop are the next men up at safety for the Bills on Sunday.

  • Questionable for Week 15

    Hamlin (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Detroit.

    Analysis: Additionally, fellow starting safety Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder) is also questionable, and starting CB Rasul Douglas (knee) was ruled out. Hamlin picked up the back injury in the middle of the practice week, downgrading from a full practice Wednesday to DNP on Thursday. Cole Bishop and Micah Hyde are next up for snaps at safety.

  • Downgrades to DNP on Thursday

    Hamlin (back) did not participate in Thursday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Hamlin was listed as a full participant in practice Wednesday, so his lack of activity Thursday could represent either a setback relating to his back injury or simply a veteran day of rest. Friday's practice report will be telling as to Hamlin's chances of suiting up for Sunday's key road matchup against Detroit.

  • Records double-digit stops

    Hamlin finished with 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Sunday marked the third game this season in which the safety recorded double-digit stops. Hamlin has 83 tackles (58 solo), five passes defensed, including two interceptions, and a fumble recovery this season. He has also played on more than 700 defensive snaps after playing on just 16 a year ago as he recovered from a cardiac episode on the field near the end of the 2022 campaign.

  • Impresses in Week 9

    Hamlin recorded 10 total tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Hamlin was one of three Bills to finish with double-digit stops in Sunday's win, tying Taylor Rapp as the team's second-leading tackler. The fourth-year pro has now accumulated 57 total tackles and five passes defended, including two interceptions, through Buffalo's first nine games. Expect the Bills' top safety duo of Hamlin and Rapp to continue causing problems for opposing offenses as the season progresses.

  • Another solid outing Sunday

    Hamlin recorded five total tackles (three solo) and defended one pass in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Hamlin is now the second-leading tackler on the Bills' defense through the team's first seven games with 43 total stops. The Pittsburgh product also leads Buffalo in passes defended (five) and is tied for the lead in interceptions (two) with Ja'Marcus Ingram. Expect Hamlin to continue building on an impressive start to his 2024 campaign as the Bills travel to Seattle in Week 8.

  • Records nine tackles in loss

    Hamlin recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in the Bills' loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hamlin played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the fourth time in five games to open the season and looks locked into a starting job with his strong play. On the year, Hamlin has 31 tackles (22 solo), including two TFLs, and three pass breakups, including one interception.

  • First career INT on Monday

    Hamlin tallied five tackles (three solo), two passes defended and one interception in Monday's 47-10 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Hamlin recorded the first interception of his career Monday, as he picked off a Trevor Lawrence pass intended for Brian Thomas in the second quarter, which led to a 27-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Khalil Shakir five plays later. Even in a blowout, Hamlin managed to play 100 percent of the Bills' defensive snaps for the second time this year. Through three games this season, the 2021 sixth-round pick has accrued 19 tackles (13 solo), two passes defended and one interception.

  • Leads team in tackles Thursday

    Hamlin tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over Miami.

    Analysis: Hamlin played 92 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps during Thursday's divisional win after handling 100 percent of snaps Week 1. The 26-year-old is solidified as an every-down starter in Buffalo's secondary, though his tackle totals won't always be boosted by such a run-heavy offense as the Dolphins fielded to close out Thursday's game. Hamlin will be on the fantasy radar in deeper IDP formats heading into a Week 3 matchup against Jacksonville.

  • Pegged for starting role

    Hamlin (hamstring) will be the Bills' starter at free safety Sunday against the Cardinals, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hamlin being announced as the starter should confirm the hamstring injury that sidelined him for part of camp is no longer a concern. The 26-year-old appeared in five regular-season games last season, mostly seeing work on special teams and playing only 16 snaps on defense. However, he did play a much larger role in 2022, recording 91 combined tackles on the season, before suffering cardiac arrest during a game against the Bengals.

  • Dealing with hamstring issue

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Hamlin is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The fourth-year safety could end up missing the Bills' regular-season opener Sep. 8 due to his new hamstring injury. Hamlin is expected to start opposite of Taylor Rapp in Buffalo's secondary in 2024 after recording 91 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and two passes defended across 15 regular-season games in 2022, his one season with extended playing time thus far. With Hamlin sidelined for the immediate future, expect Cole Bishop (shoulder) to see more reps with the Bills' first-team…read more

  • Cleared for finale

    Hamlin (shoulder) is absent from the Bills' final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Hamlin missed last week's win over the Patriots due to a shoulder injury. Barring any setbacks, he should be available to provide depth in Buffalo's secondary and contribute on special teams as needed, though he's also been a healthy inactive for much of the season.

  • Out for Sunday

    Hamlin (shoulder) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Hamlin's role has been minimal this season and mostly limited to special teams, so his absence shouldn't have much impact on the defense. Taylor Rapp will be Buffalo's lone backup at safety behind starters, Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer.

  • Set for season debut

    Hamlin is on the active roster for Sunday's home matchup against Tennessee.

    Analysis: Hamlin has yet to play a snap in the NFL since last season's near-tragic cardiac incident that caused the postponement of a game and put his playing future in jeopardy. He's since been cleared to practice and play in full, and he will now get his chance to once again see live game action. This is partially due to team need for depth in the secondary, as fellow safety Jordan Poyer (knee) is inactive for the contest. Hamlin was a meaningful contributor during his rookie season in 2022 prior to…read more

  • Inactive for opener

    Hamlin is inactive for Monday night's season opener against the Jets.

    Analysis: Hamlin, who has bounced back from his life-threatening cardiac incident in January, wasn't on the Bills' Week 1 injury report after finishing second on the team with 10 tackles in the preseason. Per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, the safety's Week 1 inactive status stems from the team's current roster depth at defensive back.

  • Important milestone

    Hamlin participated in a full contact practice Monday for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest Jan. 2, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports."I'm just thankful," Hamlin said. "I'm just blessed to be able to do what I wanted to do as a kid again, at the highest level, after going through such a traumatic situation. To be able to come out here and compete again at the highest level in the world. That's such a blessing."

    Analysis: Hamlin has come all the way back from his life-threatening cardiac incident and is now able to sport full pads while tackling and doing everything else associated with full contact. While his return is inspiring, it's not clear where he fits in a deep Bills secondary now that star safety Micah Hyde is also healthy. This will be an important camp and preseason for Hamlin as he tries to lock down a meaningful reserve role on Buffalo's Week 1 roster.

  • Full participant Tuesday

    Hamlin, who suffered cardiac arrest during a Jan. 2 game versus the Bengals, was a full participant at practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: Hamlin got fully cleared for football activities in mid-April, but Tuesday was the first time the safety was a full participant in a practice since his scary departure in Week 16 last year. The 2021 sixth-round pick's recovery has been remarkable, but he now finds himself battling for a roster spot in a secondary that features Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, who are both healthy after missing extended time last year due to injuries.

  • Cleared for football activities

    GM Brandon Beane noted Tuesday that Hamlin, who suffered cardiac arrest during a Jan. 2 game against the Bengals, has been fully cleared to return to playing football, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: "He is fully cleared," Beane said of the 25-year-old, adding that Hamlin is "in a great headspace to make his return." Getzenberg also relays that Hamlin, who saw his last specialist Friday, is present and participating in the Bills' current voluntary workouts, which started Monday. As Hamlin continues to progress in his remarkable recovery, he'll be a candidate to rejoin Buffalo's secondary this coming season and bolster the depth of a safety corps that features Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.

  • Return to play a possibility

    Hamlin continues to progress from his cardiac arrest suffered Jan. 2 and has recovered enough that he's hoping to return to the NFL in the future, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Said general manager Brandon Bean this week, "He's dialed in. He definitely has every intention to play. He's got, I know of one more visit, but I think they'll get wrapped up by sometime in April, as it stands now."

    Analysis: Hamlin still has a long road ahead and will need to work through several steps of clearance, but it's beyond encouraging that the discussion has turned to football just a couple of months after his life was at stake. It's unclear if Hamlin will have any restrictions if he does return to action in 2023, where he'd likely serve as a depth safety for the Bills behind Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.

  • More good news

    Hamlin was discharged from a Buffalo-area hospital Tuesday and will be allowed to continue his recovery from home, the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: This is simply the best possible outcome for Hamlin, the Bills and pretty much the entire football world after what happened on the field just over a week ago. While Hamlin was placed on IR three days ago, we wouldn't be surprised if he's able to at least be around his teammates at some point during the Bills' playoff march, which begins Sunday against Miami. We should know in a few months whether Hamlin will be allowed to resume his football career.

  • Released from hospital

    Hamlin was released from University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Monday and has been cleared to return home to Buffalo, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: One week after suffering from cardiac arrest in a game against the Bengals that was postponed and eventually canceled, Hamlin has made incredible progress in his recovery and will now work to regain strength back at home. According to Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, Dr. Timothy Pritts said that Hamlin, who resumed walking Friday, is ahead of schedule in his recovery, though the 24-year-old will still require multiple weeks or months to return to his normal state of health prior to the…read more

  • Placed on IR

    The Bills placed Hamlin on injured reserve Friday.

    Analysis: The roster move officially ends Hamlin's season, but more importantly, the reports regarding the 24-year-old safety's recovery from the cardiac incident he suffered in Monday's game against the Bengals -- which has since been postponed -- have been increasingly positive in recent days. The Bills announced earlier Friday that Hamlin, who remains in intensive care at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, had his breathing tube removed overnight and has since resumed speaking with his…read more

The team's statement affirms that Hamlin has also been able to speak with his family and care team, and that "his neurologic function remains intact."

    Two University of Cincinnati Health physicians provided a positive update on Hamlin's status Thursday, noting that the 24-year-old has "made substantial improvement in his condition over the past 24 hours," Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Specifically, physicians William Knight IV and Timothy Pritts said that Hamlin is awake and has been responsive with the ability to move both his hands and feet. Additionally, his neurological condition and function appears to be intact after he suffered cardiac arrest during Monday's game against the Bengals. The doctors relayed that Hamlin is still intubated to assist with breathing, and the next step in his recovery will be for him to advance to breathing on his own. While Knight and Pritts…read more

  • Double-digit tackles Sunday

    Hamlin tallied 10 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 27-17 victory over the Packers.

    Analysis: Hamlin logged a season high in tackles as he continued to serve as Buffalo's starting free safety with Micah Hyde (neck) sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 24-year-old has now recorded 39 tackles (30 solo) and 0.5 sacks over seven games in his second NFL season. Hamlin should put up another prolific stat line against the Jets this coming Sunday.

  • Seven solo tackles in win

    Hamlin recorded seven solo tackles during Sunday's 24-20 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: With Micah Hyde (neck) sidelined, Hamlin has stepped up as the Bills' starting free safety, recording 26 tackles and half a sack across his last four appearances. Buffalo has a Week 7 bye, so the second-year safety will look to continue his strong play against the Packers in Week 8.

  • Another eight-tackle game Sunday

    Hamlin recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: For a second consecutive week, Hamlin logged eight stops en route to a Buffalo victory. With Micah Hyde (neck) expected to miss the rest of the 2022 campaign with a neck injury, Hamlin figures to continue serving as one of the team's starting safeties alongside Jordan Poyer, who has already missed two games this year with foot and rib injuries. The 24-year-old Hamlin's next chance to shine comes Sunday in Kansas City.

  • Big test awaits

    Hamlin is expected to start at safety with both starters -- Michael Hyde (neck) and Jordan Poyer (foot) -- out of commission for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Hamlin hasn't seen much action on defense after being selected in the sixth round of the 2021 Draft (59 snaps in total), but he'll have a big opportunity to show that he's ready for more responsibility if he can help the depleted Bills slow down what's become a strong Miami passing attack.
