The 24-year-old safety was able to contact doctors three days after the incident and spoke with his teammates last Friday.
There has been speculation among fans that Hamlin could lead the Bills out of the tunnel before their wild-card round matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
His return to the team’s facilities is undoubtedly a good sign.
