Players, coaches and football fans are anxiously awaiting updates about Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who suffered a cardiac arrest during Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hamlin's heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was sedated and in critical condition as of early Tuesday morning.

In a statement released midday Tuesday, Hamlin's family thanked first responders, medical professionals, both football teams and fans around their country for their support, prayers and donations.

"Please keep Damar in your prayers," they said. "We will release updates as soon as we have them."
