Hamlin, who survived an on-field cardiac arrest back in January 2023, saw action in just five regular-season games last season, but his now that he's further removed from his frightening medical incident, the 2021 sixth-rounder is a candidate to see an expanded role in 2024. As the coming season approaches, Hamlin is penciled in as a starting safety for the Bills alongside Taylor Rapp. Read Past Outlooks
Starting in wild-card round
Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Monday that Hamlin will return to his starting safety spot in Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Broncos, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Hamlin returned from a ribs injury in the Bills' Week 18 loss to the Patriots, playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording six total tackles. There were questions about whether the 26-year-old would be ready for the playoffs after missing three games leading up to Week 18, but McDermott's comments Monday clarified that Hamlin is ready. Expect Hamlin to start alongside Taylor Rapp as part of Buffalo's top safety duo Sunday.
