Hamlin took a hit to the chest from Bengals player Tee Higgins at about 8.55pm.
The 24-year-old safety got up after the play and then collapsed onto the ground.
Medics immediately ran onto the field to tend to Hamlin.
He was put on a backboard and stretcher and was given oxygen as he was loaded into an ambulance, per ESPN.
The ambulance transported Hamlin out of Paycor Stadium at 9.25pm and has reportedly taken him to University of Cincinnati hospital, per FOX19’s Joe Danneman.
Danneman also reported that Hamlin “has a pulse, but is not breathing on his own.”
He also reportedly required automated external defibrillator (AED) on the field.
As of 10pm local time, Hamlin has reportedly been intubated and listed in critical condition, per FOX19’s Tricia Macke.
Hamlin’s family, including his mother, came down from the stands and is reportedly with him, according to ESPN.
The game has been temporarily suspended as of 9.18pm local time to allow both teams to regroup.
A decision about a possible game postponement will be made by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, ESPN reports.
Players and coaches were seen crying and had gathered around Hamlin and the emergency responders tending to him.
Many players appeared to be in shock and were embracing one another.
The incident occurred with 5:58 left to play in the first quarter.
It is unclear what type of injury or medical emergency Hamlin sustained.
Hamlin picked in the sixth round of the 2021 draft by the Bills.
He played in 14 regular season games for the Bills last year as a rookie.
Through 16 games, Hamlin has recorded 91 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
The Buffalo Bills tweeted: “Bills Mafia is with you, @HamlinIsland.”
Dozens of NFL teams and other major sports organizations have tweeted words of support for Hamlin.
JJ Watt, who earlier this season announced via his Twitter that he had gone into atrial fibrillation, tweeted words of support for Hamlin.
“The game is not important. Damar Hamlin’s life is important. Please be ok. Please,” Watt wrote.
Many current and former NFL players have tweeted out thoughts and prayers for Hamlin.
Some have also called for video of the incident to not be shared out of respect for Hamlin and his family.
“Please don’t share the video of the Damar Hamlin play. Share this because we are all Praying for him and his family,” tweeted Robert Griffin III.
