It's Tuesday morning here, PFT live. We await further word regarding the health of Bill

0:11.4

safety, Demar Hamlin, who collapsed on the field during the first quarter of last

0:16.2

night's game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. The absolute latest

0:19.7

information we have came from the team and a tweet that was posted at 148 AM Eastern
