The first thing I thought of when I watched him collapse, was the Danish soccer player Christian Ericksen. He collapsed on the field and was dead for about 5 minutes during the Euro’s. He’s gone on to recover and plays soccer again. One of the scariest things I’d ever seen in sport, I’ll now add this nightmare to the mix

I don't follow NFL at all, but the story is being reported on all the major news and sports outlets here.
I saw a report that he suffered a cardiac arrest and it was likely due to 'commotio cordis' which is when a sudden blunt impact to the chest causes a cardiac arrest or death.
(Although how they would know this early is a mystery.)
ETA: adding the You Tube video of the doctor talking about it, for what it's worth:

Now the anit vaxxers are having a hay day on Twitter. Ah, that explains why the doctor I saw who was talking about 'commotio cordis' started off his report by saying it has nothing to do with vaccinations.

On MSNBC, Bills beat writer, Jay Shurski, is stating that a press conference is expected shortly.
Updated 12:00 midnight. There will be no press conference with the hospital tonight. Although MSNBC and CNN are carrying live coverage as of midnight ET..
Another update:. CNN. Coy Wire will be on after he is on a teleconference call with NFL shortly.

what does anti vax have to do with it? My guess is they are suggesting that his collapse was due to him being vaccinated. When a Danish player collapsed on field during the Euro Championships in summer 2021 - it was later revealed his heart stopped for several minutes - the anti-vaxxers were spreading the same BS rumours.

I had just watched the same video. It's a doctor speculating on what he thinks happened, nothing that has been released or said about Hamlin. I do think he's probably right though.

Exactly. Not surprised the anti-vaxxers jumped onto this quick.

Good. They shouldn't. I am sure his family wants complete privacy and that is what they should get. These people "in the know" need to stop with the Twitter posts.

If anyone has friends or relatives pushing the Covid vax narrative, please remind them sudden cardiac arrest has been identified as the leading cause of death in young athletes for a long time, well before Covid or its vaccine. Remember when a series of laws and recommendations were passed requiring school athletic programs to have an AED on the field? I do, because that’s why they added AED training to the mandatory CPR training I take every two years. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3445113/#__ffn_sectitleAnd then tell them to settle down and have a good thought for this kid and his family.

A good friend in high school was trying out for track and field. Had to have a physical before try outs. Guess what? Dr discovered she had a CHD. She was not granted clearance and instead sent to cardiology. That could have very well saved her life. So many loop holes even with just the physical that issues aren't found until too late

He’s gone on to recover and plays soccer again. One of the scariest things I’d ever seen in sport, I’ll now add this nightmare to the mix That was my first thought too when I read the BBC report this morning. Christian Ericksen had one of the better recoveries, he now plays for Man Utd and played for his country in the recent World Cup. Two other professional football players who collapsed during a match had their lives changed though. Fabrice Muambe was forced to retire, and Abdelhak Nouri suffered permanent brain damage. I hope for the best result for this young man.
