Bills' Damar Hamlin: Pegged for starting role
Damar Hamlin (hamstring) will be the Buffalo Bills' starter at free safety Sunday against the Cardinals, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.Hamlin being announced as the starter should confirm the hamstring injury that sidelined him for part of camp is no longer a concern. The 26-year-old appeared in five regular-season games last season, mostly seeing work on special teams and playing only 16 snaps on defense.

Bills' Damar Hamlin: Set for season debut
Damar Hamlin is on the active roster for Sunday's home matchup against Tennessee.Hamlin has yet to play a snap in the NFL since last season's near-tragic cardiac incident that caused the postponement of a game and put his playing future in jeopardy. He's since been cleared to practice and play in full, and he will now get his chance to once again see live game action. This is partially due to team need for depth in the secondary, as fellow safety Jordan Poyer (knee) is inactive for the contest. Hamlin was a meaningful contributor during his rookie season in 2022 prior to the incident, and at one point had three consecutive games with double-digit tackles, so the potential is there for him to become a fantasy contributor, even if it's only in the short term.
