KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NFL announced Friday the league will show support in multiple ways for Damar Hamlin as he continues his recovery from suffering a cardiac arrest.
There will be a pregame moment of support with a public address announcement that teams are encouraged to read before the national anthem.
All teams at their respective stadiums can outline Hamlin's jersey number 3 on each 30-yard line number on the field in either the Bills' red or royal blue colors.

We'll be wearing a special "3" patch on Sunday for our guy @HamlinIsland.
