The Bills released an update Tuesday afternoon saying, "Damar Hamlin spent last night in the intensive care unit and remains there today in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. We are grateful and thankful for the outpouring of support we have received thus far."

Hamlin's family released a statement thanking the medical staff, coaches, the Bills organization and the fans who donated to Damar's toy drive foundation. Donations to the toy drive fund have now exceeded $4 million.

"On behalf of our family, we want to express our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to Damar during this challenging time. We are deeply moved by the prayers, kind words and donations from fans around the country," the statement said.
