Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is showing “signs of improvement” but remains in a critical condition in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest during Monday’s NFL game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bills released the update on his condition in a brief statement on Wednesday, after Hamlin’s uncle Dorrian Glenn revealed the player had to be resuscitated twice after colliding with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.
