Despite a remarkable recovery thus far, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin still faces a lengthy rehabilitation process weeks after going into cardiac arrest on the field during a Jan. 2 game at Cincinnati.

Hamlin's marketing representative, Jordan Rooney, emphasized to The Associated Press Thursday night that he still faces hurdles since his discharge from Buffalo General Medical Center on Jan. 11.

The 24-year-old football player was released from the hospital five days after his doctors said he was breathing on his own, walking, talking and showing no signs of neurological damage.
