Damar Hamlin - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Another full practice Thursday Hamlin (pectoral) will practice in full Thursday and is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional round matchup against the Broncos, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News...

Impact Hamlin has now logged three consecutive full practice sessions, suggesting he could return for Saturday's playoff matchup. However, the 27-year-old must still be activated to Buffalo's active roster in order to suit up for the divisional round. If Hamlin returns from his 13-game absence Saturday, he'll likely operate as one of the Bills' backup safeties while contributing on special teams.

Logs full practice Tuesday Hamlin (pectoral) was a full participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Hamlin progressed enough in his recovery from a pectoral injury to return to practice this past Wednesday. He was unable to play in Sunday's wild-card round win against the Jaguars, but if he can continue to log full practices, he would have a chance at being activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the Broncos. If Hamlin is available, then he would likely contribute on special teams while serving in a depth role in the secondary.

Impact Hamlin had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and has since logged back-to-back limited sessions, but Buffalo will need to advance beyond the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs for the veteran safety to have a chance to retake the field. If Hamlin does return to action later in the postseason, he will stand to handle a depth role in the Bills' secondary.
