Damar Hamlin is speaking out publicly for the first time since collapsing on the field during the Jan. 2 Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bills safety collapsed following a hit during the game. Medical officials administered CPR on the field before he was taken away in an ambulance and hospitalized in critical condition. It was later revealed that he had gone into cardiac arrest.

Hamlin took to his Instagram on Saturday to share a more than five-minute video, thanking all the people who have supported him since his collapse. “As I continue to make so much progress recovering, I think it’s finally a good time to share a few things,” he began. “I think it was important for me to wait and speak publicly at the right time, as it was just a lot to process within my own self. Mentally, physically, even spiritually.
