Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been fully cleared for football activities after collapsing and needing lifesaving CPR during a Monday Night Football game in early January.

"He is fully cleared. He's here," general manager Brandon Beane told reporters in a pre-draft press conference Tuesday. "He's in a great headspace to come back and make his return."

Beane said Hamlin met with three specialists, most recently on Friday, and all of them were in "lockstep" on allowing Hamlin to play again.

"He's cleared, resumed full activities, just like anyone else who's coming back from an injury," Beane said.

Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on Jan. 2 in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He briefly stood up but collapsed after making a tackle. The training staff rushed on the field and medical professionals restarted the 25-year-old's heart on the field.

He was taken to a nearby hospital and days later was flown back to Buffalo to continue his recovery.
