COMPLETE NFL LETTER

To our fans:

Damar Hamlin’s inspiring progress in recent days has lifted the spirits of the entire NFL and football fans across the country.

While his recovery is just beginning, we are grateful to the NFL medical staff and medical staff from both teams whose emergency action likely saved his life. We are also grateful to the professionals at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center who cared for Damar and continue to oversee his care.

Seeing the entire NFL family—teams, players, coaches, and fans like you—united was another reminder that football is a family: humane, loving, and resilient.

This weekend, players and coaches from all 32 teams will wear “Love for Damar 3” jerseys during pregame warmups in a league-wide show of support for Damar.

I am very hopeful that with his continued progress, there is a good chance that Damar himself is watching his teammates. We are grateful and humbled by everyone who played a role as he continues on his road to recovery.

On behalf of the entire NFL, thank you.
