General manager Brandon Beane revealed the news to Bills fans on Tuesday (April 18).
He shared that Damar has been “fully cleared to resume activity”, as he has met with three specialists, and he will be taking part in the team’s off-season voluntary workout program.
At the same press conference, Damar also shared a statement on the news, saying that the incident was a “life-changing event, but it’s not the end of my story.”
“The ‘wow’ moment is every day just being able to wake up and just take deep breaths and live a peaceful life, to have a family and people that are around me that love me,” he shared.
Damar went on, “They almost lost me. Like I died on national TV, you know what I mean? So that right there is the biggest blessing of it all, for me to still have my people, and my people still have me.”
Back in February, Damar sat down with GMA‘s Michael Strahan about the incident, and his recovery.
