Multiple NFL teams postponing Tuesday press conferences in light of Damar Hamlin situation

The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles have canceled their media availabilities for Tuesday in light of the uncertainty surrounding Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin's hospitalization.

Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after making a tackle during the first quarter of the team's Week 17 "Monday Night Football" contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The game was eventually postponed.

According to NFL reporter Albert Breer, Hamlin was sedated and in critical condition as of early Tuesday morning. Since the traumatic incident unfolded Monday night, members of the "Bills Mafia" and the "Who Dey" Bengals have joined in unison to support the Buffalo defensive back.

Pro Football Talk's Josh Alper speculated Tuesday morning that more NFL teams could follow the Eagles' and Patriots' lead and postpone or cancel their normally scheduled media availabilities early this week. There's still no update as to when the Bills and Bengals may resume their Week 17 contest, or if any of the Week 18 games will be impacted.

Per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News, the NHL's Buffalo Sabres have also canceled their coach and player media availability for Tuesday. The Sabres are still scheduled to play the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.
