Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs visits Damar Hamlin in hospital
As everyone awaits an update on Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin, one of his teammates is going to visit him at the hospital on Monday night. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs has left Paycor Stadium and made his way to UC Medical Center just a few minutes away.
ESPN NFL reporter Coley Harvey caught up with Diggs as he made his way into the hospital. He is just like the rest of us out there, wanting an update on Hamlin and praying it’s a positive one.
“He essentially expressed how much he needed to be here,” Harvey said on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt. “People are the NFL, people around this team are desperate to know anything about Damar Hamilin’s status. And that’s exactly what I got from Stefon Diggs.”
Even people who are not too familiar with football are understanding the situation as well. A policeman who was protecting the hospital was originally going to stop Diggs from entering before some context was added. Diggs expressed how important seeing his teammate was and everyone involved understood.

“I walked with him toward the medical center,” Harvey said. “I can only go so far. He got to a cop and the cop was initially not going to let him in but he said ‘this is my teammate. I have to be here for my teammate. This is so frustrating right now. We just want to know what the news is on our guy.’
“The cop basically just let him go at that point. I actually had to vouch for him and explain who he was. That just goes to show you, not just the desperation, but that frustration of people who are closest to Damar Hamlin that they don’t have the news at this point.”
As for the rest of the Buffalo Bills, they are reportedly flying out of Cincinnati tonight. Whether or not Diggs finds his way onto that flight is not known. However, he is at the very least going to be there for his teammate and support him in person.
