CINCINNATI -- The Week 17 game between the Bengals and Bills will not be continued, the NFL announced on Thursday.
Monday's game was suspended with less than six minutes left in the first quarter when Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after making a tackle. His heartbeat was restored on the field before he was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Doctors said Thursday that Hamlin has shown "substantial improvement," including communicating through writing and moving his hands and feet, though he remains considered critically ill.
