Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly returned home Wednesday following cancer-related jaw reconstruction

In the midst of all the pre-draft excitement, the Buffalo Bills community breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday as it was announced that former Bills Hall-of-Fame quarterback, Jim Kelly, returned to Western New York after undergoing surgery to reconstruct his upper jaw.

Kelly first announced the surgery earlier this year, saying it was originally scheduled to reconstruct the portion affected by cancer treatment years ago. But Kelly shared the terrifying news that his oral cancer had returned yet again, necessitating a full upper jaw reconstruction instead of a partial reconstruction. He traveled to Mount Sinai West Hospital in New York City for the procedure.
