After making a tackle in the first quarter of the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Hamlin collapsed, requiring emergency CPR, a scene that stunned fellow players, coaches and fans.
>On Friday, Hamlin told his teammates, "Love you, boys," McDermott said - a moment that seemed unfathomable just a few days ago. Hamlin flexed his biceps and flashed a heart symbol with his hands during the call.
