Former Bears defensive lineman Steve McMichael, who is set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, was hospitalized Wednesday, his longtime publicist Betsy Shepherd said.
"The McMichael family is asking for prayers, as Steve was hospitalized today," she wrote in a statement. "He is currently undergoing tests."
McMichael, who has ALS, spent eight days in a New Lenox hospital in February; he was admitted because his wife Misty feared his had pneumonia. Doctors diagnosed him with a urinary tract infection — and later, more alarmingly, MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant staph infection.
