Indianapolis Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez underwent surgery Tuesday to remove a malignant tumor and tweeted an update that it went well.
Sanchez revealed on Monday that doctors found a cancerous tumor. However, they were able to find it before it spread to the rest of his body. It will be a long road to recovery, but Sanchez has proven he’s a fighter.
Surgery went well. Overwhelmed by all the love and support everyone sent my way #🎱💙

The Colts aren’t expecting this to be the end for Sanchez and even though there is a chance he misses the remainder of the season, the team isn’t officially saying he won’t return.
The Colts will have to find a replacement for Sanchez for the time being, but the 26-year-old is officially on the road to recovery with a ton of support behind him.
