The\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0community is praying for a member of the\u00a0Denver Broncos<\/a>\u00a0this week.<\/p>\n The Broncos are rallying around passing game coordinator Zack Grossi in the wake of a scary cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n He is only 35-years-old and will be taking some leave to undergo cancer treatment.<\/p>\n The Denver Broncos assistant coach said that he started having difficulty breathing and felt \u201ca little off\u201d for the past three months, which led him to the team\u2019s medical staff.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n This rare tumor grows in the ovaries, testicles, chest, abdomen, or brain.<\/p>\n His diagnosis comes during the league\u2019s initiative throughout the month of October to raise cancer awareness and emphasize the importance of early screenings.<\/p>\n \u201cThe diagnosis is scary, but the good news is it\u2019s highly treatable. I began chemotherapy this week, and after a few more months of chemo, I\u2019ll have surgery to remove the remaining tumor,\u201d\u00a0Grossi said.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMy approach isn\u2019t so different than getting ready for a game. I\u2019ll stay the course, keep working, and keep grinding. Day by day is my motto. I have marching orders from my doctors, and I\u2019m trusting the process.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOur unwavering support is with Zack and his family as he takes some time away to focus on his health. \u2026 We\u2019ll be with him every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n HC Sean Payton on Passing Game Specialist Zack Grossi\u2019s recent cancer diagnosis:#FightLikeABronco<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Ymm6E1A3Nd<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RkNbmAGXfk<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Denver Broncos (@Broncos) October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
