Free-agent tight end Foster Moreau is taking a pause from football after a routine checkup with the New Orleans Saints has led to a Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Moreau shared the news via his Twitter account.

“Through somewhat of a miraculous process, this Free Agency period has been life changing for me, Foster Moreau said. “During a routine physical conducted by the Saint’s medical team down in New Orleans, I’ve come to learn that I have Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and will be stepping away from football at this time to fight a new opponent: Cancer. I’m grateful for the support and thankful for people who have stood firm with me. There hasn’t been a single step I’ve taken without hundreds of people lighting the path before me, and I will continue to seek their guidance.”

Foster Moreau is optimistic that he will be able to recover from the disease.

“That being said, I’ll go kick this thing’s ass and get back to doing what I love! AMDG!” the NFL veteran said.
