The NFL community is praying for a member of the Denver Broncos this week.
The Broncos are rallying around passing game coordinator Zack Grossi in the wake of a scary cancer diagnosis.
He is only 35-years-old and will be taking some leave to undergo cancer treatment.
The Denver Broncos assistant coach said that he started having difficulty breathing and felt “a little off” for the past three months, which led him to the team’s medical staff.
A diagnosis of a Yolk Sack Tumor was made, and he will now need to undergo chemotherapy to shrink it before having it surgically removed.
This rare tumor grows in the ovaries, testicles, chest, abdomen, or brain.
His diagnosis comes during the league’s initiative throughout the month of October to raise cancer awareness and emphasize the importance of early screenings.
“The diagnosis is scary, but the good news is it’s highly treatable. I began chemotherapy this week, and after a few more months of chemo, I’ll have surgery to remove the remaining tumor,” Grossi said.
“My approach isn’t so different than getting ready for a game. I’ll stay the course, keep working, and keep grinding. Day by day is my motto. I have marching orders from my doctors, and I’m trusting the process.”
NFL fans sent out prayers for Grossi in this battle:
Denver Broncos Not Doing Well In The Passing Game In 2024
The NFL, as well as the Denver Broncos, are praying for passing game coordinator Zack Grossi amid his cancer diagnosis.
On the field, the team has not been very good in 2024.
With Bo Nix as quarterback, the team is on a three-game winning streak.
That is despite the Oregon product throwing for just 866 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions across his first five starts.
The team is fourth worst in passing yards.
However, the Denver Broncos’ defense is legit and has them sitting in second place in the AFC West behind the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.
