CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins said he’s “in a good place right now” after hearing from Damar Hamlin’s mother about his improvement on Thursday. Higgins was involved in the hit that came right before the Buffalo Bills safety collapsed and went into cardiac arrest on the field during the game Monday night. Doctors say Hamlin has made “remarkable improvement” in the last 24 hours. In his first public comments since Hamlin collapsed and the game was suspended, Higgins says he feels good “just knowing that he’s OK, he’s doing better, and it makes me feel better inside.”
