After starting the season as a healthy inactive player, beloved Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s long-awaited return to action is reportedly set to come to fruition in Week 4.
Hamlin, 25, is currently in line to take the field for his 2023 debut, with safety Jordan Poyer (knee) out for Sunday’s contest against the Dolphins, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Friday.
Barring an unforeseen change, the anticipated matchup will mark the final step in Hamlin’s remarkable comeback from suffering sudden cardiac arrest in a Jan. 2 game against the Bengals that was eventually canceled.

While speaking with team reporter Eric Allen, Jets second-year defensive lineman Jermaine Johnson sent a warning of sorts to Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 2022 first round pick expressed shocking confidence that New York can find success pressuring the two-time Super Bowl MVP.

A soccer match in Mexico was interrupted when a rogue dog hopped onto the pitch and ran off with the ball.
It happened as Alebrijes de Oaxaca were taking on Dorados de Sinaloa. A Oaxaca player took a shot from close to the sideline, and as he did, there was suddenly a flash of brown fur from the side of the net.
Luckily for Sinaloa’s goalkeeper, he was able to corral that shot without any trouble. No small feat considering it’s hard to practice stopping shots while a stray dog comes flying onto the pitch.

After a week of drama surrounding quarterback Justin Fields, the Bears added another chapter to the saga on Friday courtesy of critical comments from receiver Chase Claypool regarding the offense.
With Chicago winless entering Week 4, Claypool voiced his frustrations when asked by ESPN’s Courtney Cronin whether he’s been utilized in a way that allows him to show “the best of what you can do.” Claypool, initially, appeared hesitant to answer the question, only to then offer a brutally honest take about both his and the team’s rough start.
