LOOK: Bills' Damar Hamlin Vacation Photo With Bengals' Tee Higgins

Just five months removed from almost dying on the field in Cincinnati, Buffalo Bills' safety Damar Hamlin is on vacation with Bengals' receivers including Tee Higgins.

On a January night none of us will ever forget, Tee Higgins thought he had accidentally killed Damar Hamlin on the football field. But on a May afternoon somewhere in the desert, the two NFL players stood together for a photo - in front of a dune buggy.

Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills' defensive back, continues his remarkable recovery from cardiac arrest to the resumption of a career playing professional football. His journey took a break this week, as Hamlin is apparently on vacation with receivers from the Cincinnati Bengals - Tyler Boyd, Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins - that he hopes to cover on the field again this season.

Boyd posted a photo of the group on his Instagram under the caption: "Hot Boyz." Higgins also shared the post on his Instagram.

Hamlin and Boyd are childhood friends that attended the University of Pittsburgh together, and he and Higgins will forever be connected for the collision that left him lifeless on the field in Cincinnati during a Monday Night Football game January 2.

Hamlin, who twice had to be resuscitated, was cleared for all football activity last month. It's also good to see him back to enjoying his life away from the sport, even if it is with receivers from the Bengals.

The Bills are scheduled to begin Organized Team Activities May 22, followed by a mandatory minicamp June 13-15.
