Rooney added the following message to those questioning his sourcing: “Source is me – His friend and marketing rep.”

Hamlin collapsed after making a tackle on Tee Higgins with 5:58 left in the first quarter of the Week 17 “Monday Night Football” game between the Bengals and Buffalo Bills at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.

The 24-year-old safety was given CPR and later taken away in an ambulance.

A reporter said that Hamlin needed an AED in addition to receiving CPR.

The NFL announced that the game would not be continued that evening. They said in their statement on the situation that Hamlin was in critical condition at a local hospital.
