ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — With a helmet on, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin took part in team drills for the first time this spring and some six months since having a near-death experience during a game.
Hamlin appeared upbeat by happily waving to the cameras pointed at him during pre-practice stretching drills.
Soon after, he served as a punt protector in several special team periods.
Hamlin had previously been limited to taking part in individual drills and the stretching portions of practice over the previous two weeks of the team’s voluntary sessions.
