Colts coach Chuck Pagano battling leukemia


Recommended Posts

Colts coach Chuck Pagano has been diagnosed with leukemia and is expected to be hospitalized six to eight weeks as he undergoes treatment.

 

Team owner Jim Irsay made the announcement Monday during a somber and sometimes emotional news conference at the team complex.

"I am optimistic. I feel with every fiber of my body and I know Chuck feels the same way that he can beat this thing," Irsay said.

 

Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians will serve as the interim coach in Pagano's absence. Irsay said that Pagano requested that Arians coach the team while he is undergoing treatment.
