All 32 NFL teams have changed their Twitter profile pictures in a show of support for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

Hamlin, 24, went into cardiac arrest during the Monday Night Football game against the Bengals, the team officially confirmed via social media. He still remains in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

As the NFL community continues to rally around Hamlin, each of the league's teams set their profile picture on Twitter to a graphic that reads, "Pray for Damar."

The NHL's Buffalo Sabres also paid tribute to their hometown teammate ahead their game against the Washington Capitals Tuesday night, with "Love for 3" t-shirts that they wore into the D.C. arena. The Capitals held a moment of silence for Hamlin before puck drop, and the Sabres went on to win 4-3 in overtime.

As of Wednesday morning, the Buffalo Bills safety remains sedated in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. However, according to a close friend of Hamlin's, doctors saw "promising" signs toward his recovery overnight.

The athlete's uncle, Dorrian Glenn, told CNN on Tuesday night that they're keeping his nephew "flipped over on his stomach" to help with blood in his lungs. Glenn added that the next step is to get Hamlin breathing on his own.

"They sedated him just to give a better chance for him to just continue to heal better. We are just taking it day by day. It seems like he's trending upwards in a positive way," Glenn explained.

Hamlin suffered his injury early in the first quarter when he tackled Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins and quickly stood up, before suddenly collapsing. Medical personnel administered CPR to Hamlin and appeared to give him oxygen before the ambulance took him away. ESPN reported that Hamlin's parents were brought down from the stands to leave with him for the journey to the hospital.
