(Sports Spectrum) Indianapolis Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez revealed on Monday that he recently found a cancerous tumor that needs to be removed immediately, but he’s trusting in “God’s plan.” Sanchez, who played on Sunday despite learning of his cancer diagnosis last week, will have the surgery Tuesday.
Many from around the NFL offered prayers for Sanchez upon seeing his Instagram post.
“Like I said before, it’s always God’s plan and it will always be bigger than my plans,” Sanchez wrote. “So grateful to be surrounded by doctors that helped me catch the cancerous tumor before it spread all over my body. I will be getting surgery on Tuesday and I know that it will not be an easy bump on the road, but I know I have my amazing wife supporting me along with family, coaches, and friends reaching out.
