The well wishes and prayers continue to roll in for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin. On Monday night, the youngster went into cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati after making a tackle on Tee Higgins. He was administered CPR and then rushed to a local hospital. He remains in critical condition.
For NY Giants head coach Brian Daboll, this impacts him in a big way. Daboll was the offensive coordinator for the Bills prior to arriving in East Rutherford, and he had a relationship with Hamlin. While speaking to members of the media on Wednesday, Daboll didn’t hold back in wishing the absolute best for the injured Bill. Daboll wants nothing but the best for Hamlin.

NY Giants coach Brian Daboll is sending well wishes to Damar Hamlin
As you can see from that video above, Daboll is quite shaken up by this. He knows Hamin personally and has had nothing but great things to say about him. Daboll’s feelings are shared by countless people out there, who are waiting for more positive updates on him. This tragic incident has been beyond scary for so many.
The Giants are also taking this matter quite seriously, as it was reported that the team has made mental health resources available to players and staff so that they can discuss what happened. Guys like Davis Webb and Isaiah Hodgins are also former teammates of Hamlin, which is why it would make sense for the G-Men to give the players much-needed support.
The Giants had a team meeting where they had members of the medical staff, the team psychologist and chaplain address the team this morning, per Brian Daboll. They have a support system in place for anyone who needs it.
